6.2 Intermediate Rostering
The basic section of this chapter set the foundation for rostering using a relatively
LEVEL simple example. In this section, you will develop rosters for Route based on the
2 Run Guide from the intermediate section of Chapter : Runcutting (shown below).
This Run Guide includes eight full-time runs, as shown below.

Cafeteria-style rosters will be considered first, since these are simpler for the scheduler. In a
cafeteria system, the scheduler is only responsible for calculating the number of operators
needed and the available days off by day of the week. A discussion of agency-developed ros-
ters follows the cafeteria rostering.
Cafeteria Rostering--Weekday-only Service
The Run Guide for Route , as shown above, has a total of eight daily runs. In this cafeteria
rostering example, assume that the route operates only on weekdays and there are no /
rosters. The formulas for calculating days off and the number of operators required are shown
below, yielding the following result:

Operators have no choice but to take Saturday and Sunday as their days off. The most
straightforward operating roster that could result from cafeteria-style selection of work assign-
ments would include the same run for each operator Monday through Friday. An example of
this weekly roster is shown on the following page, under the assumption that the most senior
operators would pick weekly assignments with overtime. Of course, the scheduler cannot pre-
dict how the cafeteria roster will look.

Cafeteria Rostering--Weekday and Weekend Service
In this example, Route operates seven days a week. Weekend service is the same on Sat-
urday and Sunday in this example, and is about % of weekday service. The first step is to
determine the available days off and the number of operators needed. The master run list is
shown below.
MASTER RUN LIST
Weekday Runs Saturday Runs Sunday Runs
Run # Pay hours Run # Pay hours Run # Pay hours
01 8:04 601 8:00 701 8:00
02 8:00 602 8:00 702 8:00
03 8:00 603 8:00 703 8:00

05 8:00 605 9:51 705 9:51
06 8:00
07 10:17
08 9:24
The total number of operators is determined using the formula for computing operators and
days off, as shown below. The addition of weekend service on Route results in a total of
operators needed for this example, compared to eight for weekday-only service. When Satur-
day and Sunday runs are part of the cafeteria rostering process, drivers also need to pick their
days off. Since only five operators are needed for Saturday and Sunday service, and opera-
tors are needed in total, there will be five operators "off " on Saturdays and Sundays. Eight
operators are required each weekday, so two of the operators can choose to be off on each
weekday.
The table on the following page summarizes the expected rostering outcomes. This goes back
to the approach we have discussed in previous sections--that is, to know the outcome before
you work through the details and develop a solution.

What might the cafeteria roster look like for this example? Senior operators often prefer to
maximize their pay hours and to have weekends free. The nature of the run (straight vs. split)
and run begin and end times are also factors considered by operators.
Assume that the first two operators maximize their work hours and pick Saturday and Sunday
as their days off, the next two are willing to work one weekend day, and the next two are will-
ing to work both weekend days. The cafeteria roster after these six operators pick their work
would look like the example on the following page.

It may be useful at this point to walk through an example of the calculations for a specific ros-

the beginning of this section, are multiplied by to convert to weekly hours: : x = : .
Total hours are calculated by multiplying the daily total hours from the Run Guide for Run
by : : x = : .
Make-up time is calculated in the same way, but Roster does not include any make-up
time.
Overtime was shown in the Run Guide as overtime pay hours (equal to one-half the overtime
hours worked); the roster shows actual weekly overtime worked for clarity. Roster includ-
ed minutes of daily overtime, which equals : weekly overtime.
Spread time was also shown in the Run Guide as spread penalty (equal to one-half of actual
spread hours); the roster shows actual weekly spread time for clarity. Run included : of
daily spread time, which equals : weekly spread time.

Agency-developed Rostering--Weekday and Weekend Service
With agency-developed rostering, the agency "pre-packages" the runs into weekly rosters.
The operators then pick from the agency-developed list of weekly rosters.
A number of factors influence how packages (Lines of Work) are developed for the weekly ros-
ters. In cases where overtime and make-up time are calculated on a weekly and not daily basis,
there is the opportunity to combine daily runs with greater than eight hours pay time with daily
runs paying less than eight hours to reduce or eliminate weekly overtime and make-up time.
In the basic rostering section, the agency-developed roster reduced the pay-to-platform ratio
from . for the cafeteria roster to . .
As shown earlier on the Master Run list, there are two long runs on weekdays and two on
weekends. Several weekday runs (notably runs , , and ) require at least minutes
of make-up time daily. The objective of developing weekly rosters is to combine these runs
into weekly work assignments that minimize overtime and make-up time. Ideally, work assign-
ments will be as close to hours per week as possible.
A common approach to developing agency rosters is to adjust assignments with the most
overtime or make-up time first, and then address remaining assignments. Rosters and
have the most weekly overtime, while Rosters , , , and have the most
make-up time. In the example on the following page, switches in assignments are highlighted
in bold.
The first switch is between Rosters and : the Wednesday through Friday runs have
been exchanged to reduce overtime on Roster and make-up time on Roster . Next,
the Saturday runs have been switched between Rosters and . The Tuesday runs on
Rosters and have been exchanged. Finally, Run on Thursday, which had been
switched from Roster to Roster , has been exchanged again with Run from Ros-
ter .
What is the end result of this agency-developed roster? See below--weekly overtime has been
eliminated, and weekly make-up time has been reduced from : to : . Pay hours are now
calculated as:
Pay hours including make-up time, overtime, and spread penalty =

Weekly pay hours have been reduced from : to : . The agency-developed roster has
reduced the pay-to-platform ratio from . to . . Typically, agency-developed rosters
are more efficient because of the ability to package long and short runs in a weekly roster. The
reduction in pay-to-platform ratio was slight in this example only because the original roster
was very efficient.
Another key benefit is the ability to package a greater proportion of attractive Lines of Work.
The outcome can be that the less senior employees are not just operating the undesirable runs
or workweeks, and have an overall better working life. This has the potential to translate into
lower staff turnover among the less senior employees, which is an issue for many transit sys-
tems.
One other consideration is that early and late runs should generally not be mixed in a given
roster. The reasons for this are both fatigue-related (obvious if moving from a late finish to
an early start), and also because, as a general rule, operators prefer low variance in the start
and/or end times of their working days. The agency may have rules governing time off between
6-27
OCR for page 325
Chapter 6. Rostering Level . Intermediate Rostering
shifts, but even without such rules it is not a good idea to have an operator pull in late in the
evening and pull out early the following morning. A roster with early runs and a late run on the
last work day would be acceptable under time-off rules, but operators generally do not find this
desirable.

Day Off Patterns
Quality of working weeks is also an important consideration when developing rosters. This
applies particularly to how day off patterns are developed and rest times are ensured (above
minimum requirements). The scheduler should be able to predict the day off patterns before
developing the rosters. For any fixed set of input runs (i.e., the weekday, Saturday & Sunday
runs to be rostered) there will be an `optimum' set of day off patterns. Some of the consider-
ations of day off patterns will include:
· Whether days off must be consecutive (particularly applies to four-day workweeks
where two consecutive plus one other day may be acceptable)
· Which combinations of days are preferred. For example, is a Thursday/Friday combina-
tion preferable to a Friday/Saturday combination (probably not)?
· Whether having an entire weekend off is an important consideration. If so more Thurs-
day/Friday and Monday/Tuesday combinations will be preferred over Friday/Saturday
and Sunday/Monday combinations, which will in turn allow more Saturday/Sunday
weekend day off combinations to be created. The following graphics illustrate day off
patterns for two options. Option requires consecutive days off. Option allows this to
be traded off against additional full weekends off. The patterns that result are shown
below:

As the table shows, revising day off combinations can achieve an additional entire weekend off
(increases from four to five) with the same set of input runs. However, this outcome requires a
split days off combination, which may or may not be permissible under your labor rules. If split
days off are not allowed, this would not be a valid option; however the example is provided to
illustrate the concept of alternative approaches to days off patterns.
Days off can be easily displayed as a basic roster, without the daily hours or numbers. This al-
lows a more simple visualization of the roster pattern. In developing a roster it may be best to
develop this blank pattern first, and then simply "fill in the blanks" to complete the roster.

Agency-developed Rosters with Part-time Operators
Part-time operators are allowed at many transit agencies, often with restrictions on the maxi-
mum number of hours allowed per week or the number or percentage of part-timers. The
examples in this section did not involve part-time operators because the runcut did not pro-
duce any runs shorter than : . If your runcut results in runs of six hours or less, these can be
combined into a weekly part-time roster ( hours per week is a typical upper limit for part-
time operators). Alternately, short and long runs might be mixed as in the preceding example
to produce a more efficient roster.
The naming of which runs are part time and which are full time can be reconsidered as part of
the rostering process, again depending upon what the labor agreement allows. This is dis-
cussed in greater detail in the advanced section.
Agency-developed Four-day and Five-day Rosters
The development of four-day rosters is a viable option for many agencies. The ability to con-
vert overtime to straight time is a primary advantage of four-day rosters (especially if overtime
is paid on a daily basis), and is usually present if there are runs close to hours in length. The
example in this section includes one weekday run longer than : , another weekday run :
in length, and a Saturday and Sunday run : in length. Since each weekday run is operated
five days a week, these runs could have formed three four-day rosters. The remaining
runs could then form seven five-day rosters and one part-time roster consisting of three days'
work. However, the ability to mix and match runs in rosters would be limited if the longer runs
are reserved for four-day rosters.
A significant portion of any cost savings from the use of four-day rosters may be offset by the
added cost of hiring and training additional operators and paying additional fringe benefits.
The iterative nature of runcutting and rostering may result in a different runcut that would be
conducive to four-day rosters without increasing the need for added operators. For many op-
erators, a four-day roster is a welcome option because it provides an additional day off during
the week.
In short the number of operators required to operate four -hour runs over a workweek is usu-
ally the same as required to operate five eight-hour runs. While the -hour runs result in fewer
runs at the runcut stage, the additional days off required for the four-day workweek result in
the same number of total operators. In simple terms the % saving in runs (eight hours to
hours) is offset by the equivalent additional days off required ( % or one in four) by four-day
workweeks.
