How to avoid making mistake
Timesphere’s optimization engines make it possible to generate firefighter’s schedules within minutes, while taking into account the followings:
- Their availability timesframes (either full or part time),
- Their level of/specific competencies,
- Their seniority level,
- Their individual preferences and
- The rules and collective agreements in place.
Work schedule changes management
Once the cycle’s schedule is ready, it will be subject to many changes such as unforeseen events, absences and last-minute modifications. One must also control the special requests. Timesphere has been conceived to simplify your life at each of these levels.
- Replacement management problems
- Clear view of everyone’s availability (multiple fire stations, full and part time)
- Overtime validation
- Approvals (time-off, holidays, work shifts swaps, etc.)
All this while observing the rules and collective agreements in place.
Here’s an example :
A common situation is when a firefighter wishes to swap a work shift with a colleague, all he has to do is to submit his request through Timesphere. The system will first verify that the colleague in question owns the proper qualifications. Once confirmed, it will then send it to him. Upon reception, the colleague will answer through the system and in the event that he accepts, a final approval request gets forwarded to their supervisor.
Should the supervisor approve it, the changes will automatically be made to the schedules and a transaction record will be created within the periodic report for future references.

Phone calls are no longer necessary, firefighters receive a fast response (ex: by SMS messaging) and the changes are shown in the overall schedule immediately upon approval.
