Our goal is to work together as a remote team and build an employee scheduling application
Application summary:
An application to easily generate a part-time employee schedule based on employees' availability and needs of business.
This application could be useful not only to employers but to anyone organizing a schedule for a group of people (i.e. volunteers).
Project User Story
- user can add a list of employee names
- user can indicate business hours for each day of the week
- user can indicate number of employees required at once
- user can indicate min/max number of shifts per employee
- user can indicate length of shifts
- user can indicate length of breaks
- user can indicate min/max hours per employee per day/week
- once all required parameters are entered, the app will make an employee schedule for one week
