Worker Availability
Know who's actually free today, before a client calls asking why a shift wasn't covered, computed straight from active placements and scheduling data, not a spreadsheet someone forgot to update.
Filling a job order fast means knowing who's genuinely available right now, not who was available the last time someone checked. Worker Availability replaces the manual cross check against placements and schedules with a live, computed answer, shown right where you're filling a job.
Why staffing teams need it
The classic mistake is proposing a worker for a shift who's already booked elsewhere, or who's on approved time off. Easy to do when availability lives in someone's head or a spreadsheet that's a day out of date.
A branch running a dozen placements at once can't rely on memory to know who's free right now. Worker Availability computes the answer directly from the same active placement and scheduling data FreshStaff already tracks, so it's never out of date.
How FreshStaff builds it
The availability engine checks each worker's active job assignments, scheduled shifts, and any recorded time off, then flags who's genuinely free for a given date. It reuses the same placement and scheduling data that already runs the rest of FreshStaff, not a separate system that can drift out of sync.
That result shows up two ways: a standalone Available Workers panel for browsing who's free, and inline suggestions right on the job order page you're already filling, so acting on availability never means a separate lookup.
Now with a 14-day forecast
Every night, FreshStaff projects this same availability signal 14 days forward, so a coming gap shows up in Copilot's daily priorities before it happens, with one-click Replace Worker, Adjust Schedule, and Alert Manager actions. The Worker Reliability page covers how the nightly history and forecast work.
How It Works
- 1
Open a job order or the Available Workers panel. No separate scheduling tool to check first.
- 2
FreshStaff cross-references each worker's active placements, scheduled shifts, and recorded time off for the date you need.
- 3
Workers with a conflict get excluded automatically. Everyone else shows as available.
- 4
Suggestions appear right on the job order, so assigning an available worker takes one step, not a lookup followed by an assignment.
Why It Matters
Fewer double bookings and missed shifts, because availability is computed from live data instead of memory or a spreadsheet that's already stale.
Faster fills, because you see who's available right where you're already deciding who to place, not after switching to a separate scheduling screen.
