Fatigue Management
Everyone in the workplace has a work health and safety responsibility, and we can help you to ensure fatigue doesn’t present a risk to the health and safety of your employees.
Our new Fatigue management feature allows employers to set limits on scheduling employees, ensuring they are not over-worked and are managing their fatigue and overtime in a safe manner, and in-turn, controlling over-time.
We have created two options for setting fatigue management; System Default Fatigue Management and Individual employee fatigue management rules. You will be able to control the following on each feature:
• Maximum hours per shift
• Maximum hours per week
• Maximum assigned days per week
• Maximum consecutive days of work
• Minimum rest time between each shift

SYSTEM
DEFAULT FATIGUE MANAGEMENT
To set your System default fatigue management rules, go to the Settings > App Settings > Roster settings > Fatigue Management
By setting the System default management rules, these will apply to all employees in your organization. This will create a standard, customizable rule based on the figures you set, across all sites and all employees.
If you wish to disregard one or more of the
Fatigue management rules, enter zero amount to let the system ignore the rule
INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE FATIGUE MANAGEMENT
Alternatively, you can set fatigue management rules for individual employees. To do so, go to the employee’s profile, and select the Fatigue management tab.
From here, you can either choose to keep the default system fatigue rules (set to YES) or set the individual employee fatigue rules (Set to NO).
- By setting the individual employee fatigue rules, this will override the organizations default fatigue rules.
- Setting the individual employee fatigue rules will allow you to customize the rules based on the employee’s contractual hours and / or days, and control any over-time they may work.
- If you wish to disregard one or more of the Fatigue management rules for the employee, enter zero amount to let the system ignore the rule.
- Last step. To enable the system to alert you for any fatigue warnings on employees scheduling, go to Setting > Roster Setting > Alerts and set the warning toggle to ON
Maximum Consecutive Days Rule
This rule limits the number of shifts an employee can work consecutively without a day break. The system will generate alerts if the maximum consecutive limit is exceeded, allowing schedulers to make necessary adjustments
At company XYZ, The week starts on Monday, and they have implemented a maximum consecutive working days rule of 5. In line with this fatigue rule, if an employee works for 5 consecutive days from Wednesday to Sunday and then proceeds to work a shift on Monday in the current week, it would be considered a violation of the fatigue rule.
