# Frankie as a Staff Scheduler

Staying on top of who's in, who's out, and whether your rooms are covered is a lot to keep track of, especially first thing in the morning. Frankie gives you a clear picture of your staffing situation at any point in the day and helps you find cover quickly when you need it.

# What Frankie Can Do

You can ask Frankie about staffing in your own words. Here are some examples of what to ask:

- Tell you who's out today or tomorrow, and which rooms are below ratio

- Suggest qualified staff who can cover, and assign them when you say yes

- Find staff messages about sickness or leave, and turn them into leave requests

- Flag who forgot to sign out, and who's heading over their contracted hours

- Give you a staffing report for the day

Frankie suggests, and you choose.

## Once, or on a schedule

You can ask Frankie in chat whenever you need an answer, or give Frankie a regular job, like a staffing report every weekday at 6:30 AM, so your morning check is done before you arrive.
