Can I manage shift changes and cancellations?

Yes. Admins and schedulers can update shift details and status in BetterDesks. When linked attendance exists, schedule changes can flag related timesheets for review.

Detailed answer

Shift records include the client, site, date, start and end times, assigned employees, and status. Schedulers can adjust schedules as operations change, and those records remain connected to attendance and timesheet workflows.

When a schedule change affects a linked timesheet, BetterDesks can mark the timesheet with a conflict state such as a schedule change. That gives managers a review signal before approval.

Automatic employee notifications for schedule changes are not available today, so teams should use their normal communication process for urgent updates.

Example

A replacement worker is assigned after a last-minute call-out. The scheduler updates the shift in BetterDesks. If attendance records already exist for the original schedule, the related timesheet can be flagged so the manager reviews it before approving payroll-ready time.

How BetterDesks helps

BetterDesks keeps schedule, attendance, and timesheet records connected. That makes shift changes easier to review while keeping automatic notifications and open-shift pickup outside BetterDesks today.
