Additional Information

Once a House Shift is assigned and the Schedule is published, employees will be able to see the available shifts in the Push Employee App > Shift Releases > Release Pool. 

House Shifts are a great option to create if you want extra coverage for an event or a busy day. Utilizing House Shifts also gives the option to employees to pick up shifts that are outside of their typical availability.

If you wish to drag a shift into House Shifts, but an employee is at the bottom of the scheduler, please select “Pin Shift” under the “House Shift” section. This will keep the House Shifts bar at the top of your page, so you can easily drag and drop a shift into House shifts.

Once an employee requests to take on a House Shift, a Manager will receive a notification under Shift Approvals: Schedule Shift Change Requests. Easily approve this request to update the Scheduler and notify the employee that the House Shift is now theirs!
