Upload the schedule
Drop a Kronos export, an SSMC workbook, or a planning sheet. The parser maps it to a shift grid the engine can score. No data leaves the unit.
Fairness scheduling companion · for nursing units
Your unit's fairness, scored 0 to 100.
Upload a recent schedule and see your Unit Fairness Score straight away. One number that rolls up how evenly burden is shared, how far apart your lightest and heaviest carriers sit, and the risk band split. The per nurse breakdown and reports unlock with a work email. Line manager stays in control. It scores the period in front of you; it does not predict turnover.

Unit Fairness Score
How Equinurse works
From any schedule export to a fairness picture in one upload.
The Burden Index weighs nights, weekends, overtime, and consecutive stretches into a single 0 to 100 score per nurse. A to F grades make the distribution visible at a glance. Add exceptions and the system learns; a two week review prompt asks if the constraint still holds.
02
Score the burden
Nights, weekends, overtime, and consecutive stretches combine into a 0 to 100 Burden Index per nurse. Weights are visible, not hidden.
03
Surface the inequity
A to F grades stack into a unit distribution. Outliers are obvious. The line manager decides what to change; the tool just makes the picture visible.
Evidence
What this is, and what it refuses to be.
Method
Burden Index, made legible
A single 0 to 100 score per nurse, computed from four weighted components: night shifts, weekend coverage, overtime hours, and consecutive working stretches. Weights are visible. The math is auditable. No hidden coefficients.
Learning
Constraints that age out
Add an exception — no nights for childcare, reduced hours for recovery — and the system learns. A two week review prompt asks if the constraint still holds. Constraints decay unless renewed. The line manager stays the source of truth.
Boundary
No PHI leaves the unit
Equinurse processes schedule structure, not patient data. Files stay in the unit environment. The output is a fairness picture for the line manager, not a record that travels outside the team.
For nursing managers carrying the schedule.
If you write the duty roster, this is for you. Upload a recent month and read your Unit Fairness Score in seconds. See where burden has accumulated and which grades cluster. Decide what to change. The tool stays under your hand; the fairness data is the only thing it brings to the table.
