Annualising working hours (AH) is a means to achieve flexibility in the use of human resources in order to face the seasonal nature of the demand. MILP models are proposed to solve the problem of planning the staff's working hours with an annual horizon. The computational experience with the models leads to the conclusion that MILP is an appropriate way to deal with the problem in many real cases.
