92% Fewer Union Overtime Violations Through Rule-Aware Scheduling

Forge Manufacturing operates a 24/7 unionized facility with highly complex labor contracts. Their collective bargaining agreement dictates strict rules around turnaround time (rest periods), seniority-based shift bidding, and specialized machine certifications.

Supervisors were managing these rules in their heads or via complex spreadsheets. Unsurprisingly, mistakes were made. Assigning a machinist to a shift without the mandatory 10-hour rest period triggered automatic union grievances.

The company was paying out over $42,000 annually in compliance penalties.

They needed an engine that could digitally codify their 80-page union contract. StaffSchedule's rules engine allowed them to input seniority hierarchies, rest mandates, and certification expirations directly into the scheduling logic.

Grievances and penalties dropped by 90% almost overnight. The system physically prevents a supervisor from breaking a rule, acting as a digital guardrail.

When the annual union audit occurred, HR saved 95% of the time they usually spent gathering documentation, because StaffSchedule provided a pristine digital trail of every shift assignment and bid.
