How to Assign Staff to an Empty Shift?

1 min read Updated October 2026

Follow these steps

Step 1:

From the left-hand navigation menu, click on Scheduler.

Step 2:

Locate the Empty Shift (displayed in light purple) on the Scheduler and click on it.

Step 3:

A panel will open on the right-hand side. Click on More Actions and then select Edit.

Step 4:

In the Employee dropdown, select the employee you want to assign to the shift.

Step 5:

Scroll down and enable the Publish Shift, if you want to publish the shift immediately.

Step 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.
