We have a shift available from 9AM to 3PM at The O2 Arena, London, on Friday 6th May. Reply YES if you can attend or NO if you are unable to attend. Many thanks.

Boomerang allows scheduling software to automatically notify staff with the details of any new shifts, including an option to either accept or reject it. Any accepted shifts are automatically scheduled and assigned to the staff member(s) accepting, with an automated notification triggered to other recipients advising that shift has been taken.

Any rejected shifts are automatically offered to a waiting list of other available staff members until the required quotas have been filled. Prior to the shift, a reminder message is sent out, reducing both late attendance and DNAs.
