Open shifts

Open shifts let employees apply for work that has not been assigned. You need Can edit rosters or the permission to post open shifts.

Create an open shift

1. Open Admin, then Open Shifts.
2. Select New open shift.
3. Enter the Start time, End time and Break (min).
4. Choose the Roster and Day.
5. Optionally choose a Role and add a Note.
6. Save the open shift.

The shift appears as Open and is available for eligible employees to apply for. It is not assigned merely because it was created.

Review applications

When Open shift approval is enabled in Settings:

1. Open Admin, then Open Shifts.
2. Select the Applications button beside an open shift.
3. Review the applicants and select Assign beside the chosen person.

The open shift becomes Assigned. If approval is disabled, the first applicant is assigned automatically, so there may be no application decision for a manager to make.

Deleting an open shift removes that offer. Check its status and applications before deleting it.
