Scheduling

WebCenter has a lightweight scheduling feature for firms whose managers want to plan shifts in advance and publish them for staff to see. This page covers the employee experience — viewing your shifts. For the manager-side editor, see Schedule editor.

Where you see your schedule​

After signing in, go to Schedule in the navigation (or /schedule).

The page shows your upcoming published shifts, ordered by date. For each shift:

  • Day and date
  • Start and end times (in your firm's time zone)
  • Office
  • Position (if your firm uses positions)
  • Any notes the manager attached

If you have no upcoming shifts, you'll see an empty state — your manager hasn't scheduled or published anything for you yet.

Draft vs. published shifts​

Managers create shifts as drafts first; drafts aren't visible to employees. When the manager publishes a shift (or publishes the whole week at once), it appears on your schedule.

If your manager mentions a shift you don't see, it's probably still in draft. Once they publish, it'll show up. WebCenter does not notify you about new shifts in v1; check the schedule page or your messages.

Cross-firm conflict warnings​

If your account is linked across multiple firms (see Working at multiple firms), and you have shifts that overlap at different firms, the schedule page shows a conflict warning banner above the affected days.

The warning is for you only — the firms you work for never see this. They don't know about each other.

What the conflict warning shows:

  • The day(s) with overlapping shifts
  • Which firms the conflicts are with (only their names — no shift detail)
  • A note that you should resolve the conflict with one or both managers

The warning is informational. WebCenter doesn't unilaterally cancel any shift; it just makes the overlap visible so you can sort it out.

What scheduling does and doesn't do in v1​

WebCenter's scheduling in v1 is intentionally minimal. It does:

  • Let managers create, edit, and publish shifts on a week grid
  • Let managers copy a week's worth of shifts to another week (a templating shortcut)
  • Show employees their own published shifts
  • Warn employees about cross-firm conflicts

It doesn't (yet):

  • Shift swap requests between employees
  • Time-off and availability tracking
  • Auto-assignment based on availability
  • Cost or hours-budget estimates per week
  • Notifications when your schedule changes

These are post-v1 candidates based on real-user feedback. If your firm needs any of them, let support know.

What if my schedule is wrong?​

Talk to your manager. Schedule edits are made through the Schedule editor, which is a manager tool. If a shift is wrong, the manager updates it (and re-publishes if needed) and your view updates the next time you refresh.

What if I'm scheduled but didn't agree to the shift?​

WebCenter does not have an "accept shift" workflow in v1. The schedule reflects what your manager has assigned; if you disagree, talk to them. Reading the schedule is not consent or commitment.

Mobile and tablet​

The schedule page is responsive — it works on phone, tablet, and desktop browsers. There's no native app yet.
