If you've already scheduled a clinician for a shift but need to remove them (such as if you've filled the shift in-house, the clinician No Call/No Showed after the start of the shift, or there was an emergency that kept them from working the shift), you can do so in the app.
If the shift has already started and you removed the clinician by mistake, you can also reinstate that clinician -- but only if you remove them AFTER the shift has started.
Note: Removing a clinician will return the shift to the marketplace. If you no longer need the shift, please see How to Cancel a Shift.

- Tap Remove Clinician
-
Select reason for removing clinician
- *Excused Emergency: you've spoken with the clinician and understand their situation for not working a shift
- Refused to Work: can include situations like a no call, no show or refusal to work the shift
- No Call No Show: only an option if the shift has already started
- Provide an optional explanation for the removal
- Tap Remove
- Tap Yes to confirm and return the shift to the marketplace
When you remove a clinician, the scheduled clinician will be notified, and the shift automatically reposts to the marketplace. You DO NOT need to repost the shift. A new notification will also be sent to all available clinicians, so that you can begin looking for a replacement.
*Excused Emergency: If a facility user selects Excused Emergency when removing a clinician from a shift, the clinician will not be penalized by having their account frozen. We encourage facilities to use this option when an emergency situation outside of the clinician's control comes up.
Reinstate a Removed Clinician
If you accidentally remove a clinician from a shift AFTER the shift has begun, you have the ability to reinstate that clinician in the app. This may be if the clinician arrived at the shift and you weren’t aware of it, or if they arrived late but you both agree to have them work the shift.
Note: You cannot reinstate a scheduled clinician after they've been removed if the shift has not yet started. This is because the clinician is notified of being removed and may have already found another shift or made other plans.
