How to assign open shifts to a new employee

When an employee leaves

When you terminate an employee in Frontliners, you have the option to transfer all their future shifts to another employee right away. This is the easiest method.

If shifts are already open

If the employee has already left and their shifts are showing as open (unassigned), you can use the magic wand to quickly assign them:

1. Go to Scheduling in the menu.
2. Find the new employee in the schedule.
3. Hover your mouse over the employee's name in the summary column.
4. Click “Assign shifts” (the magic wand icon).
5. Click on each open shift you want to assign to this employee.
6. The shifts are now assigned — no further steps needed.

Tip

If you know a replacement is coming, it’s always faster to transfer shifts during the termination process rather than reassigning them one by one afterwards.
