Understand related shifts in the staff app

See who works before, during, or after your shift at the same site and start a handoff conversation.

Related shifts help you see who is working at the same site before, during, or
after your shift. You can review the site's schedule and, when a handoff is
available, start a conversation with the assigned coworker.

How related shifts work

  • ShiftDispatch looks for other published shifts at the same site on the same
    day as the shift you opened.
  • The preview shows up to three nearby shifts, grouped under Before your
    shift
    , At the same time, or After your shift.
  • View full site schedule shows every published shift at that site for the
    day. Your assignment is marked Your shift, and unassigned work is marked
    Open shift.
  • From My shifts, you can open handoff details when one other coworker is
    assigned to a related shift. The handoff shows how the shifts line up and
    includes a button to message that coworker.

Review related shifts and contact a coworker

  1. Open Shifts and select My shifts.
  2. Tap one of your shifts to open its details.
  3. Scroll to Related shifts.
  4. Tap a coworker's related shift to open Shift handoff.
  5. Review whether their shift is before, after, or overlaps your shift.
  6. Tap Message first name to open a conversation with that coworker.
  7. To see the whole day instead, go back and tap View full site schedule.

A staff member opens Related shifts for a Forest Heights Campus assignment, reviews Alex Diaz's overlapping shift and handoff details, then opens the full site schedule.

Check that it worked

The handoff screen shows the coworker's name, shift time, and relationship to
your shift. Tapping Message first name opens your conversation with that
coworker in Chat.

Troubleshooting

  • No Related shifts section appears: The shift may not have a site, or no
    other published shifts are scheduled at that site that day.
  • A related shift cannot be tapped: Handoff messaging is unavailable for
    open shifts, shifts assigned to you, shifts with multiple assignees, and
    related shifts viewed from the Open shifts tab.
  • Site schedule is temporarily unavailable: Tap Try again.
  • The conversation does not open: The assignment may have changed. Return
    to the shift details, review the refreshed related shifts, and try again.
