# Adding an Extra Coverage Shifts to the schedule

Extra coverage shifts are used when a client requests additional employees beyond the standard agreed-upon staffing. These requests may arise due to events, increased foot traffic, or other temporary needs.

 

### **Before You Begin**

Ensure that **extra coverage shift rates** have been established in the **Contract Prices** section for the client requesting additional staffing.
