Metropolis Health System (MHS) uses a basic work week of 40 hours throughout the system. Thus, one full-time employee works 40 hours per week. MHS also uses a standard 24-hour scheduling system of three 8-hour shifts. The Admissions manager needs to compute the staffing requirements to fill his departmental positions. He has more than one Admissions office staffed within the system. The West Admissions office typically has three Admissions officers on duty during the day shift, two Admissions officer on duty during the evening shift, and on Admissions officer on duty during the night shift. The day shift has one clerical person on duty, the evening shift has one clerical person on duty, and the night shift does not have a clerical person on duty. Staffing is identical for all seven days of the week.
