What is Open Shift?

A shift that needs to be worked but currently has no employee assigned to it.

Understanding Open Shift

Open shifts can result from call-offs, insufficient staff, unexpected demand, or gaps in the original schedule. Filling open shifts quickly is critical to maintaining operations. Scheduling software can broadcast open shifts to qualified employees who can claim them or be assigned.
