Labour Planning
Plan. Allocate. Model. Enforce.
Legion connects long-term labour planning, weekly allocation, scenario modeling, and real-time execution, so plans can adapt as conditions change. Align Finance and Operations around bottom-up labour plans that translate into hours, dollars, and schedules.
Highlights
Plan, allocate, and model labour—enforced automatically in scheduling.
Build bottom-up labour plans using Legion Forecasting and driver-based labour models—not averages or headcount assumptions.
Allocate the annual plan weekly across location, role, and time period, without changing the approved baseline.
Model and compare "what-if" scenarios in a separate environment before applying changes to the live plan.
Deploy approved plans directly into scheduling, where they're enforced automatically.
Key Capabilities
Legion Labour Planning turns labour planning from a static, disconnected exercise into a continuous, closed-loop process: forecast, plan, allocate, model, and enforce — all on one platform, running on a single shared data model.
Legion Forecasting & Labour Modeling
Generate highly accurate long-term and interval-level demand forecasts. Forecasts translate automatically into labour requirements using productivity standards and labour rules, giving budgets and staffing plans a reliable, operational foundation.
End-to-End Labour Planning
Establish the annual labour operating plan—hours, cost, and headcount—using real operational constraints, not averages or assumptions. Once approved, the plan becomes the baseline for the year.
Weekly Labour Allocation
Distribute your plan's hours and dollars weekly across location, role, and time period, without editing the original plan. The annual baseline stays intact while the business absorbs week-to-week variance.
What-If Scenario Modeling
Model and compare scenarios—including wage changes, operating hours, format shifts, and headcount adjustments—without adjusting the live plan until a change is approved.
Enforced Execution
Approved plans flow directly into Legion Workforce Management scheduling and are enforced automatically, keeping schedules within financial targets while still respecting skills, availability, and compliance.
Continuous Reforecasting
The plan updates continuously as actual performance data flows back into the system, surfacing mid-period variances rather than at period close.

WHY Legion
Connect labour planning to daily execution
True Bottom-Up
Labour Planning
Replace top-down budgets with bottom-up plans built from real demand, labour standards, and constraints—giving Finance the accuracy and Operations a plan they can actually execute.
Keep Plans, Allocations, and Scenarios Separate
The annual plan remains unchanged; weekly allocation accounts for variance, and scenarios are tested separately before being committed.
Enforced, Not Just Reported
Confidently move from plan to execution. Approved plans are enforced automatically in scheduling, eliminating overrides, rework, and budget drift.
End-to-End Labour Transparency
Finance, Operations, HR, and field leaders share one system of record, improving visibility and decision-making across the organisation.
