Shifts for the staff¶

The staff see only the confirmed shifts: what the planner is still preparing stays out of sight until it is published.

My shifts¶

Open Planning → My shifts. Your published shifts appear as a calendar, cards or a list. Open one to read its sector, hours, label and the handover Notes.

A user sees the confirmed shifts of their team, so they can also read who works with them in Planning → Schedule.

The schedule email¶

When the planner sends the schedule, each person whose shifts changed receives an email with their shifts of the period and a See my schedule button.

The button opens a personal page, made for the phone:

• My shifts — your shifts of the coming six weeks, with their notes;

• Open shifts you can take — the open shifts of your role, each with a Take button.

The page needs no login. It is personal: keep its link to yourself.

Take an open shift¶

An open shift is a confirmed shift that still has nobody. When the setting Open shifts is on, anyone holding its role can take it:

• in the Open shifts menu of Planning, click Take this shift on the card or in the list; or

• on your personal page, tap Take.

The shift is yours at once, and its history notes who took it. The list opens on the Upcoming shifts: a shift that has started can no longer be taken.

WideCare refuses the shift when:

• it is already taken, not published yet or already started;

• it asks for a role you do not hold;

• you already have a shift at that time;

• it would leave you less rest between two working days than the establishment requires;

• the establishment does not let the staff take open shifts.
