This paper develops an approach for determining staff size when N j personnel are needed on weekday j, j= 1, 2,…,7. The method explicitly incorporates the fact that staff size will vary with both regular rest policy and fringe‐benefit days. The typical hospital case where N employees are needed weekdays and n on weekends is developed in detail.
