FA-94293 / Shift rostering labor rules / Member archive

Back-to-back shifts rejected as overlapping during bidding · case 03

Workers cannot bid for a shift that starts when their held shift ends.

Member previewVariant 3 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

workers [id, hire day, max shifts]; shifts id -> [start, end]; prefs id -> ordered shift ids. Bidding rounds repeat until nobody picks: in each round workers in seniority order (earlier hire day, then id) take their first preferred shift that is untaken and does not overlap a shift they already hold (touching is fine), one pick per round, until reaching their maximum. Return worker -> picks in order.

Why this case matters

Seniority bidding is a common contractual roster procedure; each rule change reallocates shifts.
