In this article you'll learn how to delete shifts from your shiftplan and optionally notify employees about the change. Deleting shifts removes them from your schedule and, for published shifts, updates capacity data and notifies affected employees. This article is relevant for managers who need to remove shifts from their published or unpublished shiftplans.
You will then be asked again if you would like to delete the shift. Additionally, you can decide whether you would like to notify your employee about the change.
When you delete an open and thus unpublished shift, it simply vanishes from your shiftplan, as it has not been accounted for in your capacity planning. But when you delete a published shift:
The shift is removed from your shiftplan.
The capacity data of the associated employee is updated.
If you decided to notify, then the employee gets notified that they have been unassigned from a shift.
Note:
The magic here doesn't happen just because you can delete a published shift, but because you can keep your employees informed almost immediately. For every change you make to planned and published shifts, your employees are totally in the loop. This allows you to be more agile and increase employee satisfaction - by showing them that you care.
