I. Multiple Open Shifts

 Step 1: Enable the ‘Allow multiple shifts per day’ option under the Open Shift Defaults settings.

Step 2: Edit the maximum length of your shifts.

Step 3: Adjust the Advanced Settings for "Maximum time clocked out during shift" and "Minimum time between shifts." For maximum flexibility, you can set both to 0.

For more information about other settings and their usage, refer to our Setup Scheduling with Fareclock article titled 'Open-Shift Defaults Setup'.

II. Multiple Scheduled Shifts

 Step 1: Go to the Fareclock Admin Console and go to Manage. Under ‘Manage’ find and click the ‘Schedule’.

After clicking, the following will appear on your screen:

Step 2: To schedule multiple shifts for a worker, click the '+' icon in the appropriate cell of the existing schedule.

This will open a modal to create a new shift:

Step 3: You can assign the shift to either a single worker or multiple workers by clicking the downward arrow button here:

Step 4: You need to select a shift class for the worker(s) or create a new shift class if needed.

Optional: You can make the new shift recurring by checking the box next to 'Shift is repeating'.

Step 5: You also have the option to select the Job for this worker or these workers.

Optional: If 'Costing Selection is Partial' is enabled, you will be prompted on the Time Clock application to select any fields that were not locked.

Step 6: You can also select a geo fence setting and add notes here.

Step 7: Select “Save” to confirm and add the shift to the schedule.

When an employee clocks in for a new shift, Fareclock will automatically select the most suitable matching shift. It first looks for the latest scheduled shift with a fixed time that matches. If the shift has already been used that day, it won’t be reused. If no fixed shift matches, Fareclock will then search for a scheduled flexible shift. If there is still no match and Open Shifts are allowed, it will use an Open Shift.
