Overview

Sync your work schedule from When I Work to the Calendar app on your iPhone or iPad to see the work schedule side-by-side with your personal schedule.

You can also sync the work schedule with your calendar on your computer.

How does calendar sync work?

When I Work calendar sync uses an open standard called iCalendar to sync the work schedule.

Syncing your calendar from the When I Work Staff Scheduling app adds your work schedule to the Calendar app on your device only. If you want to sync your work schedule directly to an online calendar like Google Calendar or Outlook, set up calendar sync from your computer.

You have the option to sync several subsets of the work schedule:

• Your Schedule: Shifts that are assigned to you.
• OpenShifts: OpenShifts that you are both qualified and available to take.
• Entire Schedule: All shifts for all locations.
  Not available if you have employee access privileges.
• Location-Specific Schedule: All shifts scheduled at a specific location.
  Not available if you have employee access privileges.

How often does the calendar update?

Depending on your device settings, the Calendar app can update your work calendar on a regular schedule or only when you manually check for updates. To change the sync schedule, change the Fetch New Data setting in Settings app > Calendar > Accounts or Settings app > Account & Passwords (depending on iOS version).
