When an organisation puts your business on one of its sites, you can book your workers onto it. Each booking shows what the gate is expected to say on the day, so you can fix anything before your crew turns up.

How to book

  1. Step 1: Open Site work, then Book workers onto a site.
  2. Step 2: Choose the Site (sites marked booking required need a booking before anyone comes).
  3. Step 3: Under Who's coming, tick your workers, or Just the business (no named worker, e.g. a sole trader).
  4. Step 4: Choose when, and select Book.

What happens next

Coming up · next 8 weeks lists your bookings with each person's expected result at the gate and why. It's predicted from today's records: once something is uploaded and approved the prediction changes, and the gate checks everyone again on the day.

Your calendar feed

  1. Step 1: On Bookings, open Calendar feed and select Make my link.
  2. Step 2: Copy your private link and add it to your calendar: in Outlook, Add calendar → Subscribe from web; in Google Calendar, Other calendars → From URL; on iPhone, Settings → Calendar → Accounts → Add Account → Other → Add Subscribed Calendar.
  3. Step 3: Lost control of the link? Select Make a new link (the old one stops) or Switch my link off.

The feed shows your bookings at each site's shift times, your documents' and workers' expiry dates, inductions to do and payment claim statements due. Calendar apps check every few hours, so changes can take that long to appear.

Anyone with the calendar link can see its events, so treat it like a password. It shows site names, document kinds and counts, never your workers' names or ticket numbers.
