Route high-exposure shifts to top performers.
New York's regulatory density means certain shifts carry outsized exposure: shifts spanning 10+ hours (spread of hours), shifts triggering tipped-worker math, fast food shifts subject to Fair Workweek and just-cause, manual worker shifts subject to weekly pay, NY-WARN coverage thresholds. Routing these shifts to high-performing workers — based on tenure, compliance history, and shift outcomes — reduces variance and exposure simultaneously.
Top Performer Routing
Identifies high-exposure shift types in the NY context. Routes those shifts to workers with strong tenure, compliance history, and shift-outcome scores. Reduces variance in demanding contexts.
What the rule does at shift assignment.
The hero card configuration: Optimize on routing decisions, Flag on rationale logging. Here's what each does at runtime.
When a shift is created in a high-exposure category (long spread, tipped, fast food + scheduling, manual worker, etc.), Teambridge surfaces top performers from the available pool first. Managers retain final assignment decision.
Each routing decision is logged with the high-exposure category and the worker selection rationale. Defensible if routing patterns are challenged on protected-class grounds.

High-exposure category × top performer = lower variance.
Routing isn't legally required — it's an optimization that aligns with risk-reduction goals. The categories are NY-specific; the routing logic is shaped by tenure, compliance history, and outcome scores.
High-exposure shift categories in NY
Categories with disproportionate compliance risk: shifts that span 10+ hours (spread-of-hours rule); tipped service or food service shifts (tip credit math, 80/20 rule); fast food shifts in NYC (Fair Workweek + just-cause + ESSTA); manual worker shifts (weekly pay rule); shifts during WARN notice periods. Each carries outsized error cost.
Top performer signals
Tenure (12+ months in role), compliance history (no documented violations or disputes), shift-outcome scores (on-time, complete, customer satisfaction where measured), peer ratings, manager ratings. Combined into a single score with weights configurable per employer.
Teambridge surfaces top performers for high-exposure shifts and audits the patterns.
Optimization happens at scale: thousands of shifts per month, each with its own exposure profile and worker pool. Teambridge handles the routing structurally and audits for unintended impact.
5+ NY-specific categories.
When a shift is created, Teambridge identifies exposure category: long spread, tipped, fast food + FWW + just cause, manual worker, WARN-affected, etc. Multiple categories can apply to a single shift.
Tenure + compliance + outcomes.
Eligible workers scored on tenure, compliance history, shift outcomes, peer/manager ratings. Score weights configurable per employer.
Top scores surfaced first.
When the schedule is built, top scorers are recommended first for high-exposure shifts. Managers can accept the recommendation or override with logged rationale.
Periodic review.
Routing patterns audited periodically for disparate impact across protected classes. Patterns that show unintended adverse impact surface for HR review and potential weight adjustment.
