Unpredictable employee illness (morning sickness) causes last-minute staffing gaps with no system to proactively fill shifts.

Workarounds Described

• owner finds out employee is sick only when employee shows up or coworkers report it
• owner asks employee on the spot about preferred shifts with no advance planning

Implied Software Gaps

• Employee health status sharing system that triggers automated shift coverage
• Proactive shift preference collection and scheduling tool

StaffCover Relief

StaffCover Relief is a scheduling app that lets employees log chronic health conditions privately and auto-generates shift coverage requests to on-call staff when an absence is logged, eliminating last-minute scrambling.
