Creating Shifts Off

If you have scheduled too many people for a shift, you can either cancel a particular staff member’s shift or allow staff to elect to take the shift off.

Select the shift that you want to create the shift off for, then select “Create Shifts Off” from the “Actions” dropdown.

You will be directed to a new page (below) with the information you need to complete to create the shift or shifts that can be taken off.

Starting/Ending on …at or after/before: Select the dates and times that are available to take off.

Venue: Select the appropriate venue.

Skills: Determine which skill or skills can be taken off.

Quantities: Determine how many staff members in each skill are available to take the shift off.

Force?: If checked, the staff members that meet this criteria will be forced to take the night off. If unchecked, this will appear in their “Available Shifts Off” list, and they can elect to take the shift or continue to work as scheduled.

Once you are happy with the details, click “Create Shifts Off.” The shifts will then be added to the system and shown in the relevant staff member’s “Shifts Off” list.
