The app can choose in runtime between:
- "Thoughtful" algorithm which takes into consideration the employee request and his rank
- Naive method which only consider manager requirements.
An Employee can request to change some of his details (time in business & role). Other attributes can be change directly by the employee.
An Employee can ask to swap shifts with another employee who has the same role that is assigned to a different shift in the same week. The manager can approve/reject this request.
The following resources are being cached for accelerating requests:
- ETL to business
- old employee requests (manager user)
- old manager messages (employee user)
- old swap requests
- previous shifts (manager & employee)
- slot-names
