which framework

I am looking to create a website for a management company of security guards.
The admins update the calendar with dates, times, and locations of jobs.
The guards have to sign up for their availability each week/month.
The website system needs to rotate through the list of available guards and assign guards to jobs.
The guards needs to be able to upload reports that the customers can download.
I would like as much self-service as reasonably possible, and the ability to adjust the online forms for self-service automatically.

So, I believe I need to create a basic workforce management system, a simple document management system, and a basic forms engine. I would like all of these pieces tied together with a single look and feel. Which PHP framework is best suited for the development of this project?

If I cannot rise to the challenge myself, I may decide to hire developers for this. Are there frameworks where there are much more appropriately skilled developers available?

Thank you

That sounds like a fairly complex site if done well. I would recommend hiring a developer at least to help you with the project. Pick one of the major frameworks by reviewing them yourself and seeing which one suits you.

Have a look at this url; to find out which one is best you may have to test one or two of them or read up on the capabilities of each one

I recommend downloading several and trying to get them to work. Look at the example application and see if it makes any sense to you. You will be surprised how quickly you will narrow it down.
