- Shift-based: The definition of shift work is an individual shift or a series of shifts that have a defined start and end time. There are various types of shift work, including split shifts, night shifts, and early morning shifts.(e.g., 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM). Common for roles like nursing shifts, security, or warehouse work.
- Assignment-based: An assignment is a temporary vacancy that’s for a defined period of time. Assignments have an overall start and end date (e.g., 1 month, 3 months, 6 months). Common for contract roles, projects, or coverage over a set period.
How to choose:
-
Select Shift-based if the role requires workers to be scheduled at specific times of the day.
-
Select Assignment-based if the role is focused on filling a position for a set duration, regardless of daily start and end times.\
