NEGATIVE GEARING

Conventional roster patterns can be constrained with limited flexibility and often don't allow overtime or relief cover that conforms to recommended psychological and physiological of guidelines of regulatory authorities.

Effective rosters should have something for all stakeholders and address issues such as efficiency, operating costs, and flexibility and provide for the health safety and social amenity of shift workers.

Negatively geared rosters increase efficiency and reduce overheads by maximising the flexibility of the work pattern. Negative gearing takes a "Big Picture" approach to rostering by averaging working hours over long periods such as a year. For example, a negatively geared 12 hour roster system averaged over a year can deliver an average 38 hour per week schedule that covers annual leave entitlements and provides each person with 3 days training release per year without overtime?

In fact, effective negative gearing produces savings of up to 10% due to the inherent flexibility of the roster and its ability to prevent wasted or unproductive crewing by only providing cover as required.

So for a roster system that's easier to manage, delivers reduced levels of overtime, minimises On Costs, cuts leave excesses and doesn't require supernumeraries,

ShiftManager rostering software is designed to operate with negatively geared rosters and allows managers to automate leave mark up and cover requirements, track statistics, and produce reports to monitor the effectiveness of the system.
