FAQs
1) What rules does this tool follow
It honors your inputs for earliest first break latest meal cutoff max time between breaks and buffer before shift end. The distribution strategy steers how the rests are spaced.
2) Can it handle shifts that cross midnight
Yes. If the end time is earlier than the start time the planner assumes the shift ends the next day and calculates durations accordingly.
3) How is the meal time chosen
The meal is placed near the midpoint of the shift but never earlier than your earliest setting and never later than your latest meal by window.
4) What do the strategies change
Even places breaks uniformly across work time. Front favors earlier windows. Back favors later windows. All results still respect constraints and rounding.
5) What does rounding control
It snaps all suggested times to the nearest minute increment such as five ten or fifteen. This keeps schedules practical for real operations.
6) How do team staggers work
Each person is offset by the chosen stagger value. This spreads traffic for facilities or coverage while keeping each individual compliant.
7) Can I export to my calendar
Use Export ICS to download events for meal and rests. Import the file into your calendar app using its standard import feature.
8) Does this replace legal advice
No. Always verify local labor requirements and company policy. This planner is for scheduling assistance only.
