In Brent we establish the staffing level needed for each hour open. This is
set higher than what is actually needed, to take account of leave and
sickness. We have just reviewed staffing levels due to the implications of
managing ICT services.
If this level is, say 5.5 and the library is open 35 hpw, we need 5.5x35 or
192.5 hours of staffing. This is then split up by the level of staff. In
our case this includes part or all of a Librarian, a Customer Services
Officer (the site manager), Customer Services Assistants on Scale 3 (who
occasionally open and close), and Library Assistants on Scale 1/2
- these include 2-4 Saturday staff per library, a number we'd like to
reduce!

Please respond to
"Watkins, Viv (CCS)"
Do you have a formula for allocating staff time and working out staff
rotas?
Would you be willing to share? I will collate for the list if enough
people
respond and give permission.
Thanks
Viv Watkins
