Open Shifts

Overview

Vitalize’s Open Shift Management feature eliminates the need for phone tag and constant back-and-forth when trying to fill staffing gaps. We give managers an easy way to post open shifts based on position and skill, and staff an easy way to pick up these shifts.

Your facility may determine whether any open shift you select is automatically added to the schedule or if your open shift will be sent as a request that requires manager approval. Your unit manager may additionally determine whether the open shift is applicable to be worked in an “On-Call” capacity, or in a “Partial Shift” capacity (e.g., 4 or 8 hour shifts)
