Scheduling

The Scheduling Settings in Nowsta are part of the Workflow Setup Settings, which allow you to configure how scheduling operates for your organization.

Available Settings

Confirmation Request Decline Policy

  • When a shift is requested for a worker, they can either confirm (accept) or decline the shift.

  • If a worker confirms the shift, it will appear on their Nowsta Worker App calendar and the shift will turn green in the Weekly View. If they decline, the shift turns red to alert you that the worker is not able to work this shift

  • Admins can receive email notifications whenever workers confirm or decline job requests, which helps track worker responses in real time.

Autoremove On "Decline" Response Policy

  • If this setting is disabled, the worker will need to be manually removed from the SEV once they hit the “Decline” button in their app.

  • If this setting is enabled, the worker will be automatically removed from the SEV once they hit the “Decline” button in their app.

Locking Application Response Policy

  • If the setting is enabled, this prevents workers from modifying their response to a published shift.

  • Once a worker has applied for a shift or indicated they are "not interested," their response becomes locked and cannot be changed.

Summary

Scheduling Settings in Nowsta allow organizations to customize how worker scheduling and shift responses are managed. Available options include controlling notifications for shift confirmations and declines, automatically removing workers from events when they decline a shift, and locking worker application responses to prevent changes after they have applied or indicated they are not interested.
