Add shifts to the roster
Learn about the different types of roster shifts Aire supports, and how to set each of them up.
ℹ️ This feature is available in the Pro plan.
Add a Multi-block shift (multiple activity types in a shift)
Multi-block shifts are generally used when adding different activity types to one shift (e.g. working hours, lunch breaks, half-day trainings). Multi-block shifts have a ‘clock’ icon on the roster to indicate it’s a multi shift.
- From the Menu, navigate to Employees, then select Roster.
- Select a day under the relevant employee in the roster you want to create a shift for.
- Enter the start and end time of the first part or block of the shift.
- Choose the type of shift block under “Activity” (e.g. Normal (means bookable working time), public holiday, etc.).
- Add a break duration (optional).
- NOTE: Adding a break duration impacts the calculation of how many hours the employee worked when viewing the “Worked hours” in the “Employee Performance” report or Available hours in the “Employee Productivity” report.
- Adding a break duration doesn’t automatically add a break in the Appointment Book for that day.
- Add another block to the shift in the same day.
- Select “Add Shift”.
- Enter the start and end time.
- Choose the type of shift block under “Activity” (e.g. Normal (bookable working time), public holiday, etc.).
- Add a break duration (optional).
- NOTE: Multiple shifts cannot overlap. Each shift must cover a separate time period in a day.
- When you have finished adding all multi-blocks to the shift for that day, press “Done” to save your changes.
Add an All-day shift to the roster (one activity type in a shift)
All day shifts are generally used for creating shifts with only one activity type e.g. when employees may be on holidays, training and other all day type activities.
- From the Menu, navigate to Employees, then select Roster.
- Select a day under the relevant employee in the roster you want to create a shift for.
- All day shifts will use the start and end time entered for your opening hours configured in your Business settings.
- Choose the type of shift block under “Activity” (e.g. Normal (bookable working time), public holiday, etc.).
- Add break duration (optional).
- NOTE: Adding a break duration impacts the calculation of how many hours the employee worked when viewing the “Worked hours” in the “Employee Performance” report or Available hours in the “Employee Productivity” report.
- Adding a break duration doesn’t automatically add a break in the Appointment Book for that day.
- Press “Done” to save your changes.
