Security scheduling

Security guard scheduling across posts and rotations

Security managers need to know which posts are covered on each shift and where a handoff or absence leaves a gap. ElShift helps plan those shifts and recurring rotations, with open coverage visible for review.

In short

Represent sites or posts as Locations, set the staffing needed for each shift, and use work patterns for repeating rotations. Auto Assign can account for recorded leave, weekly-hour settings and configured transition or rest rules; a manager reviews any remaining shortage.

Plan coverage by site or post

Locations and staffing minimums can distinguish the headcount needed at a particular post from the total number of guards on a shift. Multiple Locations are available on Professional and higher plans.

Carry rotations into future schedules

Work patterns can represent a repeating block of work and rest days. Managers can add configured transition rules for shift changes that need extra spacing.

Make uncovered work visible

If leave or the rules in the schedule leave a post short, ElShift can show that gap instead of suggesting that every post is covered. Managers remain responsible for resolving and reviewing coverage.
