Hotel Staff Shift Swap and Overtime Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Shift swaps and overtime make labor cost hard to predict. The agent reads the occupancy forecast and the rosters, handles swap requests against the rules for rest time, skills and cost, and tracks overtime hours. It flags weeks that will go over budget and proposes alternatives, such as a different swap or a part-time cover. It re-checks cost after every change. It states the reason for each rejection so staff understand it, and it keeps a running view of overtime for the week. If the budget cannot be met, it shows the cheapest legal options. The manager approves the roster. Edge case: a swap would leave a housekeeper on 6 straight days, so the agent rejects it and offers another pairing.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A swap is allowed if rest rules, skills and coverage are met and weekly cost stays within budget. Otherwise it offers alternatives that do.

  • No more than 6 days in a row
  • Minimum 11 hours between shifts
  • Overtime over 8 hours a week is flagged
  • The skills match must cover the department needs

An example run

What happensA housekeeper asked to swap onto a Sunday, which would have made 6 days in a row. The rules check failed, so the agent rejected the swap and found a colleague with a matching skill. The cost check showed overtime of 3 hours, within the cap. The manager approved the roster and staff were notified.
