What matters for your decision
This illustrative scenario shows a reviewable path for the case: Operational demand changes after a worker starts a shift. A supervisor redirects the worker to another site or job, creating a need to review assignment details and the resulting time coding. Steps and responsibilities must be matched to the organization's configured Hirebase deployment and policies.
1. Start with the trigger
Operational demand changes after a worker starts a shift. A supervisor redirects the worker to another site or job, creating a need to review assignment details and the resulting time coding.
2. Proposed steps
1. Record the original assignment and the operational reason for the change. 2. Confirm the receiving site's role, supervisor and any configured readiness requirements. 3. Have an authorized dispatcher update and publish the assignment using the deployment workflow. 4. Capture the effective time and job or cost code for the change. 5. Reconcile attendance and coded time during review.
3. Exceptions and limits
If the receiving site, role or worker readiness is uncertain, obtain owner review before treating the new assignment as approved. Do not assume training, credential or location controls transfer automatically between sites.
4. Evidence to preserve
Preserve original and revised schedule references, change author and time, effective point, worker communication, site/job mapping and any required approval.
5. Handoff
The receiving supervisor confirms arrival and operational handoff. Attendance reviewers resolve events against the assignment timeline; payroll owners verify job coding and approved hours before wage calculation.
6. Acceptance
The change is accepted when both the original and revised assignment are traceable, the worker has received the update, the responsible site owner acknowledges coverage, and time is coded to the reviewed assignment periods.
