Employee Scheduling Preferences

Scheduling preferences can be entered and edited by hospital staff members. Preferences can be viewed by an employee's home and secondary department managers.

Employee Scheduling Preferences allow hospital staff employees to enter and save their preferences for the days and shifts they typically prefer to be scheduled to work or to be off. For example, an employee may prefer to work Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, be off Wednesday and Thursday, and have no preferences for the remaining days of the week.

Schedulers and staffers can use employee scheduling preferences as a guide when filling gaps or balancing schedules.

• Important Note: Employee preferences will be considered within hired-in commitments and weekend/holiday rotation policies. Selecting preferences does not guarantee they will be honored.

To set employee scheduling preferences:

1. Log in to Facility Scheduler.
2. In the main navigation bar, click Employees > Preferences.
3. For each Day of the Week, click your preference:
   1. None = You have no preference.
   2. On = You prefer to work these days.
   3. Off - You prefer not to be scheduled these days.
4. Click Save.
5. To exit without saving changes, click Reset.

 

Employee > Preferences: Scheduling Preferences Screen

 

Employee scheduling preferences are visible to schedulers and staffers beginning the day they are entered or edited.  Scheduling preferences display on the Department Schedule from the current date forward.
