Overview
Adding New Users into When I Work allows the New User to see scheduled shifts, available OpenShifts, set Availability Preferences and much more! In addition, it also allows Account Holder/ Managers/ Supervisors the ability to communicate to the entire staff quickly.
You can also add an employee from your computer or iPhone/iPad.
Things to know before you begin
- You must be a supervisor, manager, or account holder to add an employee.
- By default, the new user will be assigned “Employee” level access. Visit the web app from your computer, or iPhone/iPad app to assign a new user ID, enter max hours/ week, or assign a higher user access level.
Things to do before you begin
Make sure the When I Work Scheduling app is installed on your Android phone.
