What matters for your decision
This illustrative scenario shows a reviewable path for the case: Several sites report short coverage for the same operating window. Regional operations wants to redeploy available workers while respecting assignment details, site context and clear publication ownership. Steps and responsibilities must be matched to the organization's configured Hirebase deployment and policies.
1. Start with the trigger
Several sites report short coverage for the same operating window. Regional operations wants to redeploy available workers while respecting assignment details, site context and clear publication ownership.
2. Proposed steps
1. Establish the time window, site demand and regional coordinator. 2. Review each site's open roles and the workers' existing assignments. 3. Check site-specific role readiness and availability with the accountable owner. 4. Resolve travel, overlap and local supervisor questions before making changes. 5. Publish approved assignments and communicate them to each affected worker and site.
3. Exceptions and limits
Do not assume that a worker's readiness, job code or location configuration at one site applies at another. If travel time, qualifications or assignment authority is unclear, hold the proposed move for owner review.
4. Evidence to preserve
Retain the demand snapshot, proposed and final assignments, availability confirmation, site approvals, conflict resolutions, schedule publisher and communication references.
5. Handoff
Each receiving site confirms coverage and local supervision. After work, attendance reviewers compare events with the final site assignment and route discrepancies to the correct site owner before payroll handoff.
6. Acceptance
The plan is accepted when each site has an accountable coverage decision, assignments do not contain unresolved overlaps, affected workers have received the published plan, and the regional coordinator can trace changes to their approvals.

Link to this answerWhen does cross-site coverage planning affect payroll handoff?
Only when the case creates or changes time or payable-hour data. Approved records should follow the handoff described here: Each receiving site confirms coverage and local supervision. After work, attendance reviewers compare events with the final site assignment and route discrepancies to the correct site owner before payroll handoff.
