Formula:
This calculator helps determine if you have sufficient staff hours to cover your operational needs by comparing total available employee hours with total required staff hours.
Variables:
- Total Employees Available (E): The total number of staff members.
- Average Hours per Employee per Week (H): Average weekly hours worked by one employee.
- Number of Shifts per Day (S): How many distinct shifts run daily.
- Required Staff per Shift (R): Minimum staff needed for each shift.
- Days of Operation per Week (D): The number of days your business operates in a week.
- Average Shift Duration in Hours (ASD): The typical length of one shift in hours.
- Total Available Employee Hours per Week = E × H
- Total Required Staff Hours per Week = S × R × D × ASD
- Staffing Difference (Surplus/Deficit) = Total Available Employee Hours per Week - Total Required Staff Hours per Week
