What Are Block Shifts & How to Use Them in the GigWorx Web Portal

Have a gig that requires extra training? Specific skill set? Try Block Schedules to get the same person for multiple days. 

When to Use Block Shifts:

Block shifts, which make up a block schedule, are ideal when consistency matters. If you have a project that requires a specific skill set, additional training, or continuity from day to day, booking a multi-day block ensures the same worker supports you throughout the schedule. 

It's also a great option if you're considering direct hire and want to evaluate a candidate over several consecutive days before making a decision. Block schedules give you reliability, skill alignment, and the opportunity to assess fit, without committing long term upfront. 

How to Post Block Shifts in the GigWorx Client Portal:

Posting block shifts is simple and works just like adding a regular shift, but with a few extra steps:

  1. Log in to the GigWorx web portal and navigate to the "Calendar" section.
  2. Enable the Add Shift toggle, then turn on the Add Block Shift toggle (both must be on).
  3. Select all the days you want the block shift to cover.
  4. Drag and drop the shift just like you would for a regular gig. You'll notice that the shift now appears on all selected days, and highlighted in green instead of blue.
  5. Turn off the Add Shift toggle to finalize the selection.
  6. Click "Publish All Shifts" and your block shifts are live!

As always, please don't hesitate to give your local GigWorx a call if you have any questions! We are happy to walk you through this process or handle shift postings for you.
