# How do I schedule a staff shift?

> Create and edit one-off staff shifts with a member, shift type, date, time, and location.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * A shift is an employee plus a free-text **Shift Type / Role**, a date, a start and end time, and an optional **Location**.
  * There's no conflict checking — Uplifter will let you double-book a person, or schedule them outside their availability or the facility's hours.
  * No notification is sent to staff when a shift is created or changed, so share the schedule your usual way.
</Note>

Shifts let you plan who is working, where, and when.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the schedule">
    From the dashboard, open **My Organization → Schedules** (the page is headed **Schedules & Availability**) and stay on the **Shifts & Assignments** tab. Toggle between **List View** and **Calendar View** with the button in the header.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the shift">
    Click **Create Shift**, then work down the sheet in order: choose the **Employee**, enter a **Shift Type / Role** (free text, such as "Opening Manager" or "Coach"), pick the **Date**, set a **Start Time** and **End Time**, optionally choose a **Location**, and add **Notes** if useful. Click **Create Shift** to save.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit or remove a shift">
    Use a shift's **Actions** menu to **Edit Shift** or delete it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

To capture each person's standard weekly hours, set their availability — see [Set staff weekly availability](/club/staff-operations/recurring-shift-schedules).
