How to Enable Open Shift Availability for Staff
Follow these steps to allow staff members to pick up open shifts in Veras:
Step-by-Step Instructions
Go to Settings from the left-hand menu.
On the Community page, scroll down and click Show Advanced Settings.
Scroll to the Open Shift Availability section and make sure the toggle is turned on.
You’ll also be able to choose from the following approval settings:
No Approval Required – staff can self-schedule without manager approval
Approval Required for All Shifts – every shift request must be approved by a scheduler
Conditional Approval – shift requests are automatically approved unless they exceed a defined overtime threshold
Once you've configured the settings, click Save Changes.
Success! Employees can now pick up open shifts directly through the Veras app.
