Roster Shift Bidding
Shift bidding allows services to add additional shifts to meet the needs of the service (usually depending on attendance forecasts) without having to specifically assign the shift to a particular educator right away. These are called 'Vacant Shifts' and staff can express their interest to pick up and work these shifts in addition to their already assigned shifts, which is useful if you have a number of casual employees on your books.
Adding Vacant Shifts
💻 Staff > Roster
Add a Vacant Shift like you would any other, but instead of selecting an educator from the Staff selector, pick the Vacant Shift option (at the end of the list).
You will still need to select the shift times the educator is going to work in order to save it in your roster (break times optional).
Bidding for Shifts
📱 Actions Menu > Show Roster
Staff can view the roster in the app to check for days with Vacant shifts, then tap on the shift and confirm they would like to bid for the it.
Accepting Bids
💻 Staff > Roster
Click on the Shift Bids tab in the Rostering screen to accept shift bids, or you can manually edit and update the shift in the Build Roster screen to select staff even if they have not submitted a bid.
