That's even a better reason to use a computer to set the schedules that a human. If say in nursing you have a formula like a Nurse can only work max of 7 nights shift every 28 Working days who would be better than a computer to figure this out for you? I think a human would have a lot of difficulty looking at all the rostering possibilities. The roster would also provide an audit track so if the hospital gets sued they can show the roster schedule and alignment with best practises. Also a lot of the time these ratio would be set for an entire group or sections say for all nurses but all it means it applying a policy to a profile which can be tagged to the worker. I.e. a worked name Terry Johnson can be tagged Nurse and Critical Care which would both have different policies which need to be adhered to.
