Planning shifts

Shifts shows the mechanics' shifts for the week. Customer bookings don't depend on it: a car is booked for a drop-off time, and the work on it is planned on the bay board. The rota tells you who is at work, gives the hours for reports, and pays mechanics who are settled per hour of shift.

Adding a shift

1. Switch the rows to Bays or Mechanics and click an empty cell on the day you want.
2. Choose the mechanic, the bay, and the start and end.
3. Choose One-off or Weekly. A weekly shift repeats in the following weeks, until an end date or with none.
4. Save.

Move a shift by dragging it to another day, bay or person. Click a shift to change its hours, Add break or Cancel shift. Changing one day leaves the weekly pattern as it is.

Some shifts stay Offered until the mechanic accepts them.

Reception

Reception can see the rota. If Reception may adjust shifts is on under Booking rules, they can also add breaks and make one-off changes to a shift's hours or bay. Adding, cancelling and weekly patterns stay with the owner and managers.
