In the employee scheduling example given in file P$14\_04.$xisx, suppose the employees want more flexibility in their schedules. They want to be allowed to work five consecutive days followed by two days off or to work three consecutive days followed by a day off followed by two consecutive days followed by another day off. Modify the original model $($with integer constraints$)$ to allow this flexibility. Might this be a good deal for management as well as labor?

Yes

What is the total number of employees required by the new schedule?
