Workers are the people who staff your school's events. Before a worker can be assigned to a shift or sign up for one on their own, they must be connected to your school. Connecting adds them to your Workers list and gives them a Worker Dashboard where they can view and sign up for open shifts.
Workers can connect to your school in several ways, and you can use any combination of them:
Add a worker manually. You enter the worker's information yourself from the Workers page. Enter workers one by one or use the import tool available. Download the template and follow the format exactly. This import tool functions exactly like the Coaches Import tool.
Send an email invite. The worker accepts the invite, which adds them to your Workers list and creates their Worker Dashboard.
Public site portal. The worker connects themselves through the Event Workers page on your school's gobound.com public site.
Signup link. The worker connects through an Opportunity Signup Link that you copy and distribute by email or text.
Once connected, a worker can be manually assigned to shifts or sign up for open shifts on their own.
Add a Worker Manually
While logged in, go to the Events page. Click Workers from the lefthand menu.
Click Manage Workers -> Add Worker from the drop down.
Enter the Worker Information including at least Name, Email Address, Phone Number and Employee Category on the New Worker Form.
NOTE: EMPLOYEE CATEGORY on the workers profile does not grant permissions but is instead an identifier to be used to denote actual employees of the organization. This is a required field.
Click "Create Worker" at the bottom of the page.
After assigning permissions the Worker is now available to be assigned to Worker Signups.
Invite a Worker
1. Begin by logging in, going to the Events page, and then clicking Workers on the primary taskbar on the left.
2. Click "+Manage Workers" in the top right corner, then click on "+Send Invite" in the drop down menu.
3. Enter the email address of the Worker(s) you would like to invite. If you have multiples you can list them separated by a comma and invite them all at once.
Next click "+Add Emails"
Update the Subject and Message as desired and click "Save" at the bottom of the page.
4. Each person on the recipient list will receive and email, and in that email clicking the "Signup" button that will officially add them to your worker list, and give them access to your schools signups in their worker account (they should only have to do this one time for a school).
NOTE: The Worker MUST accept the invite to be seen on your Workers list and to have access to their Worker Dashboard. Workers can not be assigned to events until they accept their invite.
Option #3: A Worker can get connected from a portal on your gobound.com public site.
1. After creating and logging in to their Bound account a worker should search for the school they want to become a worker at.
Next they click on "School" in the horizontal taskbar and then click on "Event Workers" in the drop down menu.
This will create their worker dashboard that is connected to your school.
2. This will create their Worker Dashboard. From this page they should complete their profile or click on "Dashboard" in the gray navigation area. Clicking on Dashboard will create the connection to the school they wish to be a worker for.
After creating the connection to their school they can click on the green arrow in front of their schools name. This will take them to the list of opportunities available.
This connection also makes the worker available for administrative staff to manually assign to events.
Option #4: A Worker can get connected through an Opportunity Signup Link that is distributed electronically.
1. Begin by logging in, going to the Events page, and then clicking Workers on the primary taskbar on the left.
2. Click "+Manage Workers" in the top right corner, then click on "+Send Invite" in the drop down menu.
3. A sign up link will be provided. Copy that link and distribute electronically to potential workers.
4. When they click on the link it will create their account if they have created their Bound Account. If they do not have a Bound Account they will be prompted to create one.
This connection will also make the worker available for administrative staff to manually assign to events.
