The Problem

Manual union interpretation was creating operational friction.

Schedulers were manually reviewing seniority rankings, availability rules, overtime restrictions, and qualification requirements for every assignment request.

As staffing pressure increased, assignment inconsistencies began triggering grievances and disputes between employees, union representatives, and management teams.

The organization needed a system capable of enforcing collective agreement logic consistently across all homes without relying on manual interpretation.

Solution Framework

A deterministic workforce governance layer.

BaseCare converted collective agreement rules into structured automation logic capable of validating every assignment decision in real time.

Seniority Automation

Automatically ranked eligible staff based on union-defined seniority structures.

Rule Enforcement

Applied overtime, qualifications, and bidding restrictions consistently across all scheduling workflows.

Audit Visibility

Created traceable assignment logs for operational review and grievance defense.

Operational Outcome

From reactive scheduling to trusted operational governance.

The organization significantly reduced grievance exposure while improving scheduling transparency and operational consistency across all residential sites.
