Frequently Asked Questions

Questions we hear from airport operations managers

Yes. Baggage handlers, ramp agents, and other ground crew can submit shift preferences, time-off requests, and availability through our mobile app. RosterLab's self-scheduling feature lets staff bid for available shifts while maintaining coverage requirements and certification rules.

RosterLab identifies replacement staff who meet the required certifications (GSE operations, aircraft marshalling, etc.), checks their recent hours to avoid fatigue, and fills gaps quickly. The system prevents unsafe coverage by alerting you if a shift can't be properly staffed.

RosterLab uses algorithm-based shift allocation that eliminates subjective bias. Every shift assignment is based on objective criteria: certifications, availability, workload balance, and compliance rules.
