How to Schedule Volunteers When Your Event May Run Late
Give each Proximatic shift an end time and add a later job if needed. People can choose hours they can keep, and you see who will finish the remaining work.
“Cleanup until finished” is a hard shift to accept when you have a child to collect or a bus to catch. Give the crew a finish they can plan around, and put the later work on the plan too.
Proximatic lets you offer those commitments separately. Packing might run from 3–4:30, with a closing shift from 4:30–5:30 for returning the last supplies. Each has its own places on the same event signup, so someone who can't come at three can still take the later job.
Open the roster to see who's coming at 4:30. If nobody has taken the closing shift, recruit for that later hour before the first crew arrives. You can also decide to finish the remaining work yourself, so the first crew can leave at the time it accepted.
Create your event signup with commitments your volunteers can plan around.
