Questions from operators

Staff rota questions

How managers keep weekly coverage clear without sending several competing versions.

Can I change next week without changing what staff currently see?

Yes. Managers work in a private draft and publish only when the new week is ready, leaving the current published rota unchanged in the meantime.

How are uncovered shifts handled?

Open shifts stay visible by role and time until cover is assigned, so a gap is not hidden by the rest of the schedule.

Can staff see the current rota on their own device?

Yes. Once the manager publishes the week, staff can view the current schedule from their own device rather than relying on an old screenshot.

A rota the team can rely on
