How auto-scheduling works

The scheduling algorithm builds fair rotations by considering:

• Volunteer availability and blackout dates
• Preferred scheduling frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly)
• Household connections — linked members won't be scheduled for conflicting slots
• Role qualifications — only qualified volunteers are assigned to specialized roles
• Recent history — the algorithm avoids scheduling the same person repeatedly while others are underutilized

The result is a draft that you review before anyone is notified. You always have the final say.
