The challenge.

Finance leaders can see the labor bill after decisions have been made, but open-shift choices happen continuously across units and workforce layers. Without shared rules for workforce order, incentives, and escalation, local urgency can outweigh enterprise cost and coverage priorities.

The Works approach.

Works OnDemand evaluates each open need against eligible internal supply and health-system labor rules, then releases the opportunity through the workforce sequence finance and operations define. Confirmed activity returns to the scheduling workflow for review.

How finance policy reaches each open shift.

Works connects open demand, eligible internal supply, and health-system labor rules in one sequence before higher-cost options are considered.

  1. Demand

    Read the open need

    Bring current openings, timing, unit requirements, and available internal capacity into the decision.

  2. Guardrails

    Apply labor policy

    Evaluate eligibility, workforce order, incentive rules, and escalation thresholds defined by the health system.

  3. Action

    Offer internal capacity first

    Release each opportunity to eligible internal and flexible workforce layers in the sequence finance and operations choose.

  4. Return

    Close the loop

    Return confirmed coverage to the scheduling workflow and preserve the decision trail for labor review.

What this enables.

Earlier cost intervention

Apply labor guardrails while an open need is still actionable, not after payroll.

One view of cost and coverage

Review workforce decisions alongside fill activity across facilities and units.

Governed escalation

Consider eligible internal capacity before making higher-cost workforce layers available.
