A Fair Standby Roster — Distributing Cover Duty Without Disputes
Every morning a teacher is absent starts the same scramble: the paper standby roster, the phone calls, the "why is it always me?" Haneen turns it into minutes — log the absence, pick the least-burdened free teacher, they get notified instantly, and a full ledger proves the fairness.
Log absences in one tap
Pick the absent teacher and date — their full day appears with every period needing a standby, instead of tracing a paper roster row by row.
The fairest free teacher first
For each period you see exactly who is free, alongside their weekly standby count — so covers never pile onto the same names.
A ledger that proves fairness
Every standby is stored with its date: absent teacher, covering teacher, period — CSV-exportable for staff affairs, ending disputes with numbers.
From paper roster to system — how a standby day works
1. Log the teacher’s absence in the morning
2. The system lists their periods and who is free
3. Assign the least-burdened standby per period
4. The standby gets notified with their updated grid
Frequently asked questions
What are standby (intizar) periods in Saudi schools?
Standby periods (حصص الانتظار) are slots where a free teacher covers an absent colleague instead of leaving the class unsupervised. Distributing them fairly is the biggest friction point in most schools.
How do I build a fair standby schedule?
Log the absence, then assign each period to a teacher who is actually free — weighting who has already covered this week. Haneen shows free teachers and their cover counts automatically.
Is the covering teacher notified automatically?
Yes — the standby teacher gets an instant email naming the period, class, and room plus a link to their updated timetable. No paper, no morning phone calls.
Is there a record of standby duties?
Yes — a dated cover ledger shows who was absent, who covered, and which period — exportable to CSV for staff-affairs reporting.
