Review the Rota

Exactly how much information you, as an employee, get to see on the rota view depends on the Workforce Settings that have been set by the rota managers or Workforce Owner.

Your Availability as shown on the Website
Example employee view of the rota.
A typical rota view might look something like the annotated screenshot above.

You'll see both confirmed shifts (to which the manager probably won't be making any more changes to) and shifts with a draft status which are still being planned.

Update your Availability

If your workforce is using the Rotaville Availability feature then you can update your availability on the web rota view or from the Rotaville Mobile App.

You can register your availability in advance. Using the controls on the rota, you can indicate yourself as available(green/free to work) or unavailable(red/busy).

ProTip

Employees should discuss their general availability with the rota managers and also about how they would like them to use the Rotaville Availability feature.

Updating your availability on Rotaville provides helpful information to your rota managers when they are planning and allocating shifts.

Update your Shift Interest

If your workforce uses the Shift Interest feature, you might be able to indicate your specific interest for shifts you are not yet assigned to.

You can set your Shift Interest for an upcoming shift by clicking the Willing button in the shift details box.

Depending on the Workforce Settings your managers choose, you can also set your Shift Interest to Reluctant.

Update your Shift Agreements

If your Workforce uses the Rotaville Shift Agreement feature, then you can respond to your assigned shifts.

You can indicate your Shift Agreement for an upcoming shift by clicking the accept button in the shift details box.

Many rota managers like to see your Shift Agreement set to Accept as an acknowledgement that you've seen the rota and are aware of the upcoming shift.

Depending on the Workforce Settings set by your rota managers, you might also be able to set decline on an assigned shift. Please Note: Even if you've declined a shift, you are still required to work it - unless a rota manager removes you from the shift.
