Kelly Days are built in days off in a shift cycle that keep a firefighter from working too many days and violating FLSA rules. Hero Schedule allows you to set the 'work period' (typically 14-day, 19-day, 28-day). Then you select which day of the period to give each firefighter as their Kelly Day.

Hero Schedule is built to easily create an Open Shift opportunity.

  • Create several Open Shift pools of officers/firefighters. This allows you to specify who gets the invite
  • Create an Open Shift either when you approve a time off request, or just click on +Add Open Shift
  • Hero Schedule sends emails and alerts eligible officers/firefighters to an overtime opportunity to fill the Open Shift
