Pilots do precisely this already.


Sort of. They bid based on seniority. So if you've been there forever you get the cushy flight that pays a ton. If you just joined to get the worst shift nobody wants (because it's the last one left).


What you add is bonuses that grow the longer a shift hasn’t been assigned (somehow).

Of course this all works best when you have more employee time than you need - it’ll never solve a true shortage.
