How to Assign Staff to an Empty Shift?

1 min read Updated August 2026

  1. From the left-hand navigation menu, click on Scheduler.
  2. Locate the Empty Shift (displayed in light purple) on the Scheduler and click on it.
  3. A panel will open on the right-hand side. Click on More Actions and then select Edit.
  4. In the Employee dropdown, select the employee you want to assign to the shift.
  5. Scroll down and enable the Publish Shift, if you want to publish the shift immediately.
  6. Click on Update Shift to save the changes.

 

     Notes
  • An Empty Shift is created only when no client and no employee have been assigned to the shift.
  • If Publish Shift is not enabled, clicking Update Shift will save the shift as a Draft instead of publishing it.
  • Once the shift is published, its status changes to Confirmed, and the assigned employee receives a notification about the shift through the RotaWiz Carer mobile application.
