Coordinate notice when a client changes an assignment schedule
Confirm the approved schedule and contact plan before workers receive a client change notice.
A client may change shift hours because of demand, a closure, or a production plan. The client success manager should first confirm the new schedule, affected workers, effective date, and client owner. Workers need one clear message. Delivery also needs a way to collect availability responses without suggesting that an assignment change has been approved before the client confirms it.
Ask what notice the site can provide and whether any orientation, access, or transportation factors need review. Use the client’s approved schedule information. If a worker cannot accept the change, record that fact and route it to the relevant staffing and client owners for review.
Client manager Inez told CSM Paul, “Second shift moves from three to midnight next week.” Paul asked, “Which workers are affected, when does the change begin, and who can answer site questions?” Inez replied, “Eight workers begin Tuesday. I will handle floor questions.” Paul said, “I will send the confirmed hours to the workers today, ask them to reply about availability, and return the responses to you and our delivery lead.” Inez approved the message.
Practice writing a schedule change message that states only the verified date, hours, reply method, and contact. Then roleplay a worker who asks whether declining will end the assignment. Explain that you will record the question and route it for review. A manager can check whether the message gives workers enough information to respond and keeps decisions with the appropriate owners.
