My shifts on your phone
How each person sees their published shifts, adds them to their phone calendar, gives shifts away, switches and logs their time.
My shifts
Anyone who is planned and has a sign-in sees My shifts: their next shift, their Upcoming published shifts for the next six weeks, and the Past 4 weeks. It works in any phone browser, and you can add Planning to your phone's home screen like an app.
From an upcoming shift (Standard and above):
- Give away offers it to colleagues who can do the role. Until someone takes it, it stays yours.
- Switch asks a colleague to swap: you work their shift and they work yours.
Shifts waiting for a planner show Waiting for a planner. Time off is asked in Time off - see Time off and unavailability.
Add your shifts to your phone calendar
Click Add to my calendar and follow the steps for your phone or computer (for example Android / Google Calendar or Outlook). Your calendar then follows your own private feed, so new and changed published shifts show up by themselves. Keep the address to yourself: anyone with it can see your shifts.
People without a sign-in get the same calendar button in their shift emails.
Log my time
On a past shift, Log my time records what you really worked:
- When your business uses Ellibo Timesheets, the time goes to your timesheet.
- Otherwise it is kept in Planning and the shift shows Worked 7h with Change to correct it (until it is invoiced).
The team plan
Employees and viewers can open Team plan for the published plan of everyone. They never see drafts, costs, or other people's email and phone.
