A published roster still survives sick leave and swaps.

Approved leave that overlaps a published roster raises an Urgent Leave exception automatically, so nothing is missed. If a covering employee is named on the leave application, they take over the affected shifts. Otherwise the planner raises a rebalance proposal for the date range and replacement staff, reviews a before and after diff, and a manager approves it in one step. The approval updates both the roster and the HRMS Shift Assignments, with an audit log.

Approved leave from Frappe HRMS is a hard block, so nobody is rostered on a day of approved leave. Pending leave is flagged before you publish. If leave is approved after the roster is published, an Urgent Leave exception is raised automatically and any covering employee named on the leave application takes over the shifts. For popular dates such as festive periods, the built-in leave ballot allocates leave transparently and creates the HRMS leave records.

Yes. Control stays with the planner. You can add, edit, swap or delete assignments from the calendar, and manual edits are checked for conflicts and for eligibility in the same way as generated ones. Eligibility gaps on manual edits can be set to Hard Block or Advisory. Every assignment records its source (AI proposed, manual, manual override, night-shift import or rebalance) and every change is audited.

The engine never hides a shortfall and never breaks a hard rule to cover it. Anything it cannot fill appears in the Gap Report with the date, the slot, the required versus assigned headcount, the size of the shortfall and a suggested remedy, so you can arrange agency, overtime or redeployment weeks ahead instead of on the day. Any unfilled slot can also be explained on demand.

Everything described on this site without a roadmap label is available now. Items on the roadmap are labelled as such and include the library of 18 configurable hard and soft rule types with formula-based custom rules, solver enforcement of preferred headcount and minimum-pharmacist counts, localised re-planning of a date window, one-click waitlist promotion in the leave ballot, per-assignment rationale, automated roster distribution with reminders, and the AI assistant connector, which is in pilot.
