How it works
Add scheduling stability signals
Unfilled shift rate, last-minute schedule changes, and overtime cost vs. budget refine the picture.

Frequently asked questions
Does Overtime Lens automatically adjust our schedules?
No. Overtime Lens is an analysis tool — it scores the inefficiency in patterns you enter so a scheduling or workforce manager can act on it. It does not write or push schedules.
What does the workforce-inefficiency score measure?
It weighs average overtime hours, the share of staff regularly hitting overtime, unfilled shift rate, frequency of last-minute schedule changes, and overtime cost relative to budget into a single 0-100 number.
Can this replace our workforce management software?
No. This is a quick manual diagnostic for one team or department at a time, not a scheduling, time-and-attendance, or payroll system.
How often should we recalculate this score?
Monthly is a reasonable cadence — enough to catch recurring patterns without reacting to a single unusual week (e.g. holiday coverage or a one-off staff shortage).
