s2101v30.zip     Spreadsheet to Automatically Schedule 25 People to 10 Shifts

The Shift Schedules S2-10-25 Excel spreadsheet assigns 25 qualified people to 10 shifts (or tasks), enforces rest times between shifts and is ideal for 2 or 3 shift, 24 hours per day operation. The program creates fixed-shift schedules from 1 week to 1 month in length and can rotate, or randomly assign, days off each week. Unlike most employee scheduling programs that require you to make the shift assignments, this program actually does the scheduling for you in response to constraints that you specify. The shift assignment logic includes a probabilistic component that can add a degree of randomness to the shift assignments. It produces individual and group schedules and come sizes for 25, 50, 100 and 200 employees. The spreadsheet is shareware that may be distributed and used freely for evaluation with the restriction that the schedule start date needs to be in May 1998 and the individual and group schedule displays are limited. Once you purchase the program, a password will be provided to remove these restrictions. Other spreadsheets that can schedule up to 3 shifts with enforced rest times between sifts and other features, create rotating shifts, create complex schedules, assign split-shifts, assign multiple daily tasks, create doctors call schedules, and create random schedules are available at http://www.shiftschedules.com.

Special Requirements: Microsoft Excel ver 97 or later.
