Emergency services

In the shift planning of rescue services, personnel must always be put together with a view to the required number of specialist/auxiliary staff - paramedics, emergency medical technicians.

Proof of negotiated or fixed reserve hours and additional overtime worked also determine the planning. This also includes simple determinations of tasks unrelated to the rescue service on the basis of various duty types.

For a rotation of staff between different shifts or rescue stations, scheduling supervisors need tools that can be used flexibly.
