Rotageek uses ‘Tasks’ and ‘Skills’ to help employees Schedule.
Skills:
Skills are an OR on Rotageek, meaning if you have a task with more than one skill attached, the employee will only need to have one of them to be scheduled. A skill is something that an employee would normally need to be trained on or skilled in.
In Retail, a skill may be 'Tills' due to needing to be till trained to be able to operate the till.
In a healthcare setting, a skill may be the type of band like Band 6.
Skills are an or on Rotageek, meaning if you have two skills attached to a task when setting it up, the employee only needs to have one of the skills, not both.
Tasks:
Tasks are used on Rotageek on the Scheduler to say what the employee is doing on the shift they're being scheduled for. These can be skilled or unskilled.
In Retail, you may have the task of 'Tills' with the skill 'Tills' attached to it. You may also have a task of 'Fitting Rooms' which is unskilled.
In a healthcare setting, you could have the Task of 'Band 6' with the skill 'Band 6' attached to it. You could also have a task of Clinic which is unskilled.
Tasks can also be passive. This means the passive task is being worked in the background but isn't an active task shown on the Scheduler.
An example of a passive task is 'First Aid Trained'. Someone could be working an active task of 'Tills' but have the passive task of First Aid.
