Work shifts<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

With GEST's shift tool, you can plan and manage shifts for employees or volunteers, or create training or practice schedules for groups, for example. Shifts for multiple teams can be created under one production platform\/collection. For example, it is possible to plan all volunteer shifts for a single event within the same collection, creating a separate row for each point, i.e. a separate schedule.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Work shifts can be assigned either 1. internally or 2. by letting the person choose their own shifts.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Shifts can be added to employees by the producer, who then determines each person's shifts and submits the shifts for approval.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n
  2. Work shifts can be sent to the approved person for self-selection via a post-fill. Instructions for this can be found at the end of the page.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    In both cases, shifts are created first, only then are people assigned to the shift.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    You can also watch a video on creating shifts here.<\/span><\/a> The same video also shows how the producer adds people to shifts and sends them for approval.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    A new shift collection is created from the end of the collection row, +<\/strong> button.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
