When a shift is posted to the Shift Board, staff who hold the role have a window of time to request it. If no one requests the shift before the shift's start time, the posting expires.
If the Expired Shift Has an Owner
The shift stays with the original employee
The employee is expected to work the shift unless a manager intervenes
If the employee is not expected to work the shift, manager action is required.
A manager can either:
Delete the shift, or
Keep the shift on the schedule by:
Adding a work code
Adding a label of “Not Worked”
Adding an unpaid break equal to the full length of the shift
This preserves schedule integrity without assigning hours.
If the Expired Shift Is an Open Shift
The shift remains on the schedule, unassigned
It is not deleted, even if unfilled
This preserves schedule integrity for auditing and future copy functions.
