# Fatigue Management Rules
You can add different fatigue management rules to help avoid fatigue situations when day-to-day scheduling. These rules will prompt a notification window to appear, warning managers and schedulers. Fatigue management rule warnings will also appear in MakeShift Live to assist preventing overtime or fatigue situations. *\*Note: This is not the same as Overtime Rules and does not affect payroll.*
Click on **Schedules** on the top navigation bar.
Select the department that you would like to set the fatigue management rules for.
Click on **Profile** on the left navigation bar.
Select the **Fatigue Management** tab.
Like mentioned, you can set up to five fatigue management rules to set scheduling guidelines. Click **Add Fatigue Rule.**
Use the drop down menus to help create your guidelines. Click **Save** when you are done.
You will now receive a warning if you trigger a fatigue rule. Click **Cancel** to avoid violating a fatigue rule, or **Continue Assigning Shift** if you would like to proceed.
