Pre-confirmed bookings are designed to make life easier when you and a casual have already verbally agreed on the booking details – think of it as the final step after a verbal or written agreement. Once the booking is made, it’s locked in immediately – no need for the casual to confirm.
Because of this, it's important that pre-confirmed bookings are only used after an agreement is in place. Using this feature without prior confirmation can cause confusion and inconvenience for casuals.
To ensure fairness, casuals have the option to disable pre-confirmed bookings for schools that use this feature without first checking availability. In these cases, your booking will automatically revert to a regular booking request.
A quick chat or message first goes a long way in keeping everything running smoothly!
Pre-confirmed bookings are also where you can book for non-consecutive days.
Steps to Make a Pre-Confirmed Booking
(Desktop Version)
Go to the ‘Bookings’ Tab
Navigate to the Bookings tab, then select Pre-Confirmed Booking.
Select the Date
Enter the booking date. You can also search for a casual by name, distance from your school, subject, tags, teaching levels, or rating using various sorting options.
Choose the Casual
Click on the name of the casual you would like to book for your chosen date.
Select Booking Type and Dates
Choose individual dates (one day or multiple days) or set up a repeating booking.
Note: For non-consecutive dates, use the Pre-Confirmed Booking feature and speak to the casual first to ensure availability.
Fill in Extra Details
Select the booking range (full day or half-day) and any additional information needed. You can also add attachments, notes, and payroll details.
Confirm the Booking
Click Send Booking Request to finalise the request. This will automatically book the casual without requiring their confirmation. The booking is confirmed immediately.
Steps to Make a Pre-Confirmed Booking
(App Version)
Tap on ‘Bookings’
Open ClassCover and tap on the ‘Bookings’ tab.
Select ‘Pre-Confirmed Booking’
In the bookings section, select the ‘Pre-Confirmed Booking’ option.
Follow the Same Process
From here, follow the same steps as in the web version to select the date, casual, booking type, and extra details.
Important Notes:
No Need for Casual Confirmation
Once a pre-confirmed booking is made, the casual does not need to accept or decline the booking. The details are automatically confirmed based on your verbal agreement.
Confirm Details with the Casual First
Pre-confirmed bookings can only be used when there is already a verbal agreement in place. If no agreement has been made, you’ll need to send a regular booking request instead.
For Multiple Non-Consecutive Dates
When booking a casual for multiple, non-consecutive dates, ensure you speak to the casual first. Use the Pre-Confirmed Booking feature to finalise the booking.
Casuals Can Disable Pre-Confirmed Bookings
Casuals can choose to disable pre-confirmed bookings for individual schools. If this feature is disabled, a message will appear on your screen when you select the casual.
