What coverage and demand rules protect

The demand side of the problem. These rules make sure every required slot is filled and, just as importantly, that people are not assigned to shifts nobody asked for. The second half is easy to forget and expensive: an over-staffed morning is a cost, and it is also a person who could have been resting or covering a genuine gap somewhere else.
