Doublebooking & Assigning Overlapping Shifts 
 
WhenToWork allows you to create multiple shifts per day for an employee, but tries to prevent you from "doublebooking" employees to more than one shift at the same time. So if you try to ADD an assigned shift that will overlap that employee's current shift our system will prevent that but you can EDIT a shift and double book.

There may be some instances that you do want to override this ex. to schedule a meeting shift during their schedule shift. You can do this using the shift change window:

  • Add the shift as unassigned
  • Edit the shift to assign the employee
  • Click Okay when warned the shift will conflict
To Assign an Employee to another shift at the same time as a current shift: 
On the By Employee schedule view:
  • If the shift does not exist click the Add Shifts button
  • Enter the shift information and leave it assigned to None/AutoFill and click the Add This Shift button


 

  • Click the unassigned shift in the schedule to open the Quick Shift EDIT layer.
  • Click the link to Show Available Employees
  • Click the Employee name in the list and click the Save Changes button (note you may want to set this shift to zero paid hours)
  • When warned they are already working, click Okay
