Built-in features that make this rotation pattern effective.
Every generated schedule gets a 0–100 fairness score. See at a glance how balanced your rotation is.
Weekday shifts, weekend shifts, holiday shifts — all tracked separately and balanced independently.
OnCall Builder's algorithm automatically creates the most fair rotation possible given your constraints.
Fairness carries over between scheduling periods. Last month's imbalance is corrected this month.
