A service schedule for your small team

Relais shares service desk, live chat or reception hours among employees or volunteers. Enter working hours, define the services to cover, then choose a fairness rule. The summary compares each person’s assigned time with their target.

Choose what fair means

Equal time: share service hours as evenly as availability allows. Proportional: share the load according to weekly working hours. Individual targets: set the desired service time for each person. Availability always takes priority, even when a target cannot be met.

Three editable examples

In “Staggered arrivals”, four people cover eight service hours with two hours each despite different availability. “Part-time hours” shares twelve hours as 4, 4, 2 and 2 hours. In “A cancellation”, compare a replacement that changes one assignment with a swap that changes two to restore equal shares. The examples are fictional and editable in the tool.

Replace someone without starting over

Select the absent person, day and affected hours. Compare keeping changes to a minimum with prioritizing fair shares before applying an option. Locked assignments stay in place. If nobody is available, the unfilled position remains visible.

Share with the team

Add an optional team name and validity period. Send a viewing link, download its QR code or print a poster. Each person can filter the schedule by name with no account. Links hold a fixed version: after a replacement, send a new link. A notice identifies upcoming or ended periods without blocking access.

Know the limits

This first version supports up to 8 people, 3 services and 24 assignments, with 30- or 60-minute blocks. Regular working hours repeat on selected weekdays; a validity period does not create a calendar of exceptions. Overnight services, skills, payroll and legal rules are not calculated. If the search limit is reached, the result is labelled as a proposal without a guaranteed optimum.
