Recurring shifts let you create repeating roster patterns so you don’t need to add each shift individually. You can also split a single shift into multiple segments with different service codes.

​
Setting up a recurring shift

1

Create a shift

Double-click on the day you want the series to start on. The shift form opens.
2

Enable shift repeats

Toggle Shift Repeats to on and configure the recurrence pattern:
  • Select which days the shift repeats on
  • Choose to end the series after a set number of occurrences or by a specific date
The system does not allow you to schedule past the agreement end date.
3

Choose individual or combined series

When creating shift repeats, use the Create Individual Series option to separate each day into its own series. This lets you make changes to a specific day’s series without affecting the others.Shift repeats configuration
4

Save the series

Complete the remaining shift details and click Done. The recurring shifts appear on the roster.

​
Split shift rostering

A single shift can be split into multiple segments, each with its own service code and timeframe. This is useful when different rates or services apply during different parts of the same shift.
1

Create the shift

Create a new shift and select Split Shift from the service list - it’s always at the end of the list.
2

Configure overnight settings

If this is an overnight shift, tick Shift occurs over 2 days and select the following date. Split shifts support recurring patterns too.
3

Add split segments

Tick Split 1 to enter details for the first segment:
  • Select the service relating to that timeframe
  • Use the arrows to set the duration - the start and end time display on the right
Continue with Split 2 and further splits as needed.Split shift configuration
4

Review the result

The shift appears as one shift on the Vworker mobile app, but in timesheets it splits into an individual line for each segment.

​
Auto split shift

Instead of manually splitting shifts, you can enable automatic splitting so the system handles rate changes for you.
1

Enable auto split

Go to Settings (cog icon) → Settings → Rostering tab and tick the Auto Split Shift box.Auto split shift setting
2

Create shifts as normal

The system automatically splits any shifts that cross a pay rate change boundary. For example, an overnight shift from Friday to Saturday is split at midnight, applying the correct rate for each day.
Auto split only applies when shifts cross from a weekday to weekend, public holiday, or vice versa.
