AutoFill by Seniority (Hire Date) 

 

You can choose to AutoFill Employees to shifts based on seniority. This takes the most senior Employee (oldest hire date) and assigns them according to their availability and work time preferences and attempts to give them up to their maximum hours per week. It then takes the next senior Employee and fills in the empty shifts giving the next employee his most preferred schedule etc. and continues for each Employee. Using this method results in your most senior employees getting their most preferred schedule (based on the work time preferences they have entered.)

 

To AutoFill based on Seniority: 

(Be sure you have edited your Employees and entered their hire dates)
From any Unpublished Weekly Schedule View:

1. Click AutoFill to open the AutoFill window 
2. Click the radio button next to "By Seniority"
3. Click YES AutoFill this Schedule 

Note the employee hire date can be added when you add an Employee or at any time when you edit an Employee.  You can click Employees in the top menu, then click the "Select Columns to View" link (1.) and view and edit the hire dates directly in the Employee grid (2.)  and then click Save Changes (3.) button to save all.
