Assignment Conflict

Assigning someone to a job in RIVET grants them access to basic job information

Once assigned to a job the user will see start time, default weekly schedule, address

Being assigned to a job does not necessarily mean the individual has been scheduled

💡 Note: Not every worker that's been assigned to a job has been scheduled. However, every worker that has been scheduled to a job is also assigned to that job.

 

When scheduling a worker, if that worker is assigned to another job the user will be presented with an Assignment Conflict in the Schedule Drawer

The Assignment Conflict gives the user the choice to Permanently Transfer this worker, ending all other assignments and schedules on other jobs.

 

Alternatively, the user can add this as an Additional Job. This option will not remove the worker from any of their current assignments, and simply add this job to the worker's docket.

 

If the user chooses Permanent Transfer they will not be presented with a Potential Schedule Conflict on the following step in the Schedule Drawer. Permanently transferring the worker resolves any potential Schedule Conflicts that may have arisen.

Schedule Conflict

If a worker has an active schedule at another job at any point during the duration of the new schedule being built, the user will be presented with a potential Schedule Conflict.

Clear - Through the duration of the schedule being built, the worker's existing schedule will be cleared. Once the duration of the current schedule has concluded, the worker(s) will automatically return to the jobs they had been scheduled to previously.

 

 

Double Book - The worker's current schedule will not be altered through the duration of the schedule being built. The current schedule being built will be in addition to any previously built schedule(s). This is useful when a worker is expected to show on one job in the morning and a different job in the afternoon.
