hi,
i am trying to help a friend figure out an easier way to make a
schedule for her employees. she has to create schedule with work hours
for 5 employees and there are various constraints. i figure this is a
linear programming problem in some ways and i was wondering if there
are some programs that do that.
thanks

What you have here is a constraint programming problem. Here are some sites with information:
http://kti.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~bartak/constraints/
http://clip.dia.fi.upm.es/~vocal/public_info/seminar_notes/node6.html
And here's a guide to using the multi-paradigm language Oz to solve constraint problems:

Good luck, and have fun!
