# How to Create Fatigue Management Rules - Beta

## To Create Fatigue Management Rules in MakeShift, Please Follow these Steps:

You can build fatigue management rules to help avoid fatigue scheduling your employees into fatigue. If broken, a notification window will appear, warning managers and schedulers. Fatigue management 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.
