Sometimes unexpected things happen and employees cannot finish their shifts.  If this happens you can:

    1.  Split the shift and post the part that needs to be covered

    2.  Shorten the shift to reflect the time worked

    3.  Split the shift and reassign the part that needs to be covered


1. Split the shift and post the part that needs to be covered


The Employee Shift panel is where you go when you want to modify today's shifts. Modifying shifts here will ensure you have a record to add to the shifts' history so you can tell what happened to the shift.  If you went to the VSB and shortened the shift and created a new one with a placeholder to post it you would not have any history other than changes were made by the manager.


Managers Dashboard



Click on the shift you want to split and post on the Employee Shift panel.  The Shift Details dialogue will appear.

Click on the Post icon (arrow curving right) see below.



Click on the scissors icon to split the shift.  Do not fill out the Enter a comment here or Work Code section here. 

You will be asked to fill it out on the next screen.



Fill out from 1 - 3 and click on Split Then Post.



Note that the employee has kept the first two hours of the shift and has given up the last 4 hours.


Look at the Managers Dashboard below to see the part of the shift that was kept.



Look at the Manager's Shift Board to see the part that was posted.  



Note:  This shift will have also been sent to the shift boards of each employee who holds the role of Lifeguard.  An urgent shift pick up notification via text and/or email will have been sent as well to these same employees.


2. Shorten the shift to reflect the time worked 


In the Employee Shift panel click on the shift that needs to be shortened.



Click on the Edit Shift button to modify the length of the shift.



Click on the Coding tab at the top of the shift to add the Left Early  work code for reporting purposes.



Next click on the Edit Details tab to change the end time of the shift and save the changes.



Now when you look at the shift from the Employee Shift panel you'll see the work code and new end time.  These changes will also be reflected in the History tab.


3. Split the shift and reassign the part that needs to be covered


If you were able to find a replacement for the shift then you'll need to split and reassign.


Click on the shift from the Employee Shift panel



Click on the Post icon at the left of the Shift Detail dialogue box. 



Click on the Scissors icon at the bottom left to split the shift.



Fill out 1 - 3 then click Split Then Post.


 

Now when you look at the Employee Shift panel you'll see two shifts for Abigail Washington.  One that she worked from 6pm - 8pm and one that is posted because she left early from 8pm - 11pm.



The next step is to unpost the 8pm - 11pm shift by clicking on the Unpost icon.


 

Once the shift is no longer posted click on the shift again and click the Edit Shift button to reassign. 

Then choose the Reassign tab and click on the person you want to give the shift to and Save Changes.
