How to Share Demanding Volunteer Jobs More Fairly

See who is already doing setup and cleanup before giving them another heavy job. Proximatic shows each person's hours and assignments so you can adjust the work.

Four hours at a desk and four hours moving boxes can ask very different things of a volunteer. You need to see the work behind the total before giving the same person another demanding shift.

Open Proximatic's Workload view before adding another shift. It shows each person's scheduled hours and the jobs making up that total. You can check what Alex is already doing before asking them to take on loading too.

Alex has setup followed by outdoor cleanup. Before assigning Alex to loading as well, review those commitments and ask about the added work. Casey may be approved for loading, free at that time and happy to take it after an earlier desk shift. Once Casey agrees, assign loading there and keep Alex's existing work in place.

Loading now has someone to do it, and Alex can finish setup and cleanup without another heavy job afterward. You can see both volunteers' shifts and hours in the same view.

Use that view before sharing the plan, while changes are still easy to discuss. Scheduling can check availability and overlaps; seeing the actual jobs gives you the context for a sensible conversation about the work.
