Open shifts

You can create an open shift if you need employees to work on a specific shift. The shift opening notifies the department, and employees selected can register to work on this shift. For example, if you manage a restaurant and need additional serving staff for a particular shift, you will create a shift opening and inform the number of employees required to work that shift. Employees will receive notifications and register for the shift opening. Managers can monitor the registration status of this shift opening on the system.

Q&A:

Question 1: What is the purpose of an "Open Shift"?

Answer: Yes, if employees clock in for an open shift, the system will record the workday or work hours just like any other shift, based on the configuration settings of the open shift.
