Covershift Report

Covershift Requests

This report provides you with the full list of all available covershifts. These are either extra shifts, offered shifts, or shifts that people have requested cover for. This can be found under Shift Reports.

To click shift details to see who else is working that day and any shift tasks.

There are 5 actions that you can take:

• Give Shift:
  This provides you with a list of staff that are able to work that shift. By selecting a staff member and clicking “Send Shift”, they will be alerted via text. A confirmation message will appear to confirm that you have assigned that shift and it will be removed from the list.
• Who could cover?
  This provides you with a list of all available staff that could cover the shift. Rather than immediately assigning the shift to a particular person (shown in “Give Shift”), here you are able to contact varying staff members to see if they are happy to cover the shift. If they are, you can then assign the shift to them via “Give Shift”.
• External Staff
  You are able to give the shift to someone that is not on your staff list, such as someone borrowed from another workplace or someone doing a trial shift. Enter the name of the person that you are giving the shift to and click “Take Shift”. The shift will appear in the shift calendar for that date.
• Cancel
  You can cancel the covershift if necessary. This is only applicable for extra shifts, unassigned shifts or offered shifts. 
• Night Off
  You can give a staff member the night off if they have requested cover and you no longer need them to work. The shift will then disappear from their “My Shifts” list.
