Shifts

Updated: November 29, 2024

Ryalto allows users to access and manage their shifts. Users can manage shifts created directly in Ryalto by a shift admin, fed from an external source via an API integration or via links to external platforms.

Ryalto is designed to allow flexible workers to manage their work shifts in the way that suits them in one place.

User’s can see available and booked shifts in each of the organisations they work for. Users can see shifts conveniently in the app, or linked out to an external system view shifts there, without leaving the app.

Users only see shifts in the app that are relevant to them, either based on the compliance in an external system or the skills and roles they have in Ryalto.

Ryalto Shifts

Ryalto’s built-in shifts allows admins to create shifts with a specific site and job role. Users who have the verified job role will be able to request to book for that shift immediately. Users who have most of the skills but are missing the specific job role will be able to apply for the job role and the shift once the job role had been verified on their profile.

Shift admins will also be able to create placements. A placement is a series of connected shifts which require one user to work the entire series.

Shifts from External APIs

For organisations which use the IQX or BridgeVMS shift booking systems, admins can set users up with roles which give them access to the shifts system. This system will pull shifts directly from the respective database and populate a calendar with shifts matching a user’s role. When a user requests to take on a shift the system will send their request to the external shift system where it can be accepted or rejected by an administrator on their side, at which point the shift will be removed from the calendar.

Shifts in Ryalto

If a user’s shifts are from Ryalto or an external API then they will be able to view all their available shifts and bookings in their Ryalto shifts calendar.

The shift calendar will either show all the user’s available shifts or their bookings. The user can toggle between the two views or switch to an agenda list view, showing upcoming shifts.

If an external website is used for Shifts then an admin can set the ‘Shifts’ button to redirect the user to whatever external website is provided.
