How do I unassign a shift? (Desktop)

Modified on Fri, 17 Nov, 2023 at 5:29 PM

You'll be pleased to hear that assigning a shift isn't final; you can still reassign or unassign it at any point until the existing assignee has clocked in or the shift has begun.


  1. Head over to the scheduling page by clicking on the 'Scheduling' calendar icon on the left of your screen. You'll default to the week view, but you can change view if you want to.
  2. Find the shift that you want to edit, using the calendar picker at the top of the screen if the right day isn't displaying, and click on it. Choose 'Unassign Shift' from the dropdown and confirm that you're sure.
  3. The shift will be moved to the unassigned row at the top of the schedule.
