Big Ambitions Employee Schedule, Demands, and Satisfaction Guide

FAST ANSWER

A precise scheduling workflow based on direct developer explanations.

Turn off “Shared Schedule for all days,” select each weekday, and assign or remove employees for that day. Changing the business's opening hours changes the whole store; changing one worker's assignment changes only that worker.

Schedule two workers on different days

1. Open the business schedule.
2. Disable Shared Schedule for all days.
3. Select Sunday, place the first employee on the required station, and repeat through the last day they should work.
4. Select the remaining days and place the second employee on that station.
5. To remove one worker from one day, select that day and right-click the worker's name on the schedule.
6. Check every day rather than assuming the visible layout applies to the full week.

The developer specifically notes that the day labels above the schedule are clickable. Many “everyone got the same schedule” reports come from editing business hours or leaving shared scheduling enabled.

Separate three different problems

Problem	Where to fix it
Store is closed at the wrong time	Business opening hours
One worker should have a day off	That day's station schedule
Worker wants fewer days/hours or another condition	Employee demand plus weekly assignment

Do not shorten the whole store's hours to satisfy one worker if another employee can cover the station.

Coverage before optimization

For every open hour, verify required sales/service stations and cleaning coverage. A highly skilled employee in the wrong role or an empty cleaning slot can still damage operations. Then check each person's demands, weekly hours, skill, wage, satisfaction, and training plan.

Auto-schedule and manual review

An old developer reply says the auto-schedule at that time prioritized the start of the week and could leave later shifts blank. The same reply explains that an HR manager also replaces sick employees with temporary workers and can auto-train staff. Because scheduling tools may have changed since 2023, use auto-schedule as a draft and inspect all seven days in version 1.0.

Fast diagnosis when an employee is “not working”

• confirm the business is open on that day and hour;
• confirm the person is assigned to the correct station on that specific day;
• confirm the required workstation exists and is usable;
• confirm the employee's job type matches the station;
• check whether training, sickness, or a changed business schedule removed coverage.
