Employees can view available on call slots that they qualify for and elect to go ‘on-call’ for these. If they do so it is assumed that they have agreed to work if needed and they are notified of this.

The only visible on-call slots to employees will be ones they are suitably qualified for based on skill-set, job rules, constraints or any other customer-defined rules.

Using the intuitive ‘auto swap’ function, the system will monitor upcoming jobs and can automatically assign employees who are on call to jobs where gaps have opened up. Managers can also manually assign on-call employees to jobs as the system will maintain a visible list of on-call employees for each job. The on-call list will refresh regularly so that managers and employees can see a full record of activity.

Deadlines can be set in preferences so that employees can’t remove themselves from the on-call list close to the job start time, for example, 24 hours.

The system will maintain records of all on-call activity including which employees were on call and when, who was actually assigned to jobs, dates and time of jobs, if an assignment was made manually or by the system and more.

The Benefits of OnCall List

The on call list is a fantastic feature within the eSolve Smart Rostering solution. It saves time; matches skill set requirements but at the same time stays within the parameters of predefined rules unique to your organisation.

• Employees can elect to take available on call slots they are suitably qualified for
• For employees to qualify to the on-call list, they must match all defined work rules and skillsets
• eSolve will assign employees automatically from the list to the required job / shift

• System preferences can be set to specific deadlines so that employees cannot remove themselves from the on call list close to job start (ie 24 hours)
• Save managers time when shift gaps are identified
• Enables cost savings by reducing the need for agency workers
