Introduction

Employee shift scheduling efficiently assigns work shifts and tasks to employees with the goal of creating schedules that minimize labor costs, ensure proper coverage, and satisfy various constraints, such as employee availability and labor laws.

Under the hood, the application includes Timefold Enterprise Solver - scalable optimization engine that can solve complex constraint satisfaction problems.

The Employee Shift Scheduling model has been formulated using Timefold Solver SDK.

The REST API layer is defined on top of the model and serves as a communication point with the engine. It provides a stable interface that allows you to manage lifecycle of the optimization problem, from submitting it to retrieving the final solution.
