How to add multiple shifts for the same user on one day

If your staff work more than one shift in a day, or you just need an easy way to split out their different Roles or pay in one day, you can add multiple shifts.

Adding multiple shifts on desktop

To add an additional shift, go to the Rotas tab and hover over the current shift you'd like to add on top of - you should see a '+' icon under the shift.

Click the plus icon and you'll see a shift box pop-up allowing you to enter in the details of the second shift. You can continue doing this as many times as you need. Alternatively, you can hover on a shift and click on the three dots in the corner of the shift box to select 'Add another shift' and follow the same steps to add the shifts you need. The system will automatically stop any overlapping, clashing shifts for you.

Adding multiple shifts on the app

You can add additional shifts on the app two different ways. The quickest way is to click the blue plus button at the bottom of your screen and selecting 'Add shift'. This will allow you to enter the details of the shift you'd like to add and, providing it doesn't clash with any existing shift, it will simply go onto the rota.

If you'd prefer to look at your shifts first, you can go to the Rotas tab, in either list or grid view, and tap on an existing shift. Tap the three grey dots in the top right corner of your screen and select 'Add another shift'. On the shift card, fill in the details of the new shift.
