Is there an idiot proof shift rota planner out there anywhere? (Preferably free!)

We need to work out a shift rota for 6 members of staff covering a 7 day working week, doing a mixture of 10 or 12 hour days in the week (covering 8am-8pm) and 8 hours at the weekend (covering 8-6.) 2 staff at weekend and as many as possible each weekday, 37.5 hours a week average!!

With no experience of planning something like this, it's difficult to get started!!

May be worth a go.

Oh, and where is that needs less staff at a weekend? A bank? Not retail I presume.

No, it's a laboratory.

We need to come up with a couple of ideas for rolling rotas that cover the required hours, get the required number of staff in each day but maintain an average 37.5 hr working week.

I just wondered if there was a recommended programme out there which you could bang your requirements into and it popped out some suggestions of rotas.
