Edit Shifts
Editing a published shift is the same process as editing an unpublished shift with one key difference. Once a shift has been published, it has been broadcasted to the person that their schedule is updated. Because of this, they can see the shift on their schedule, and it can be assumed that this is when they are working. It becomes more sacred, so we take an extra step to communicate the update for you.
After you edit a published shift, we actually send a text message and an email to them to let them know that you changed their schedule. This also serves to document that you communicated with them about the change.
For more information on deleting shifts, see the post on delete unpublished or delete published shifts. How to edit Published Shifts:
