If your facility has unfilled shifts based on budget or scheduling issues, Veras can assist in identifying these gaps and, importantly, in filling those shifts. Here’s how we can help you fill those Open Shifts.
Step by Step Instructions
1. Go to Schedule on the left side of the screen.
2. Find the Open Shift you would like to fill and select it.
3. A modal will appear with the shift details. Click the three dots, then select Invite Staff from the dropdown.
4. You can select from filters like All CNAs, No overtime, Working Same day, Not scheduled same day, or All PRNs to automatically select all users matching the filter you choose.
Note: You can select one or combine multiple filters
OR you can search for or scroll through the list to manually select individuals you would like to share the shift with. After confirming your selection, click Continue.
5. Next, you'll be prompted to choose if you'd like to offer an incentive for picking up the shift. If toggled on, you'll need to provide the dollar amount of the incentive you are offering. After confirming your selection, click Continue.
6. Lastly, you'll be prompted to include a message to be sent out with the shared shift. After confirming, click Save and send.
Note: Messages will send out to each individual and include their first name when the First Name placeholder is used
7. Individuals that you shared the shift will receive a message in the Veras App where they will be able to Reject or Accept the shift you have sent
8. As soon as one person Accepts the Shift, that shift will be added to their schedule
9. If someone else tries to accept the shift, it will say The invited shift is no longer available
