On my View Roster I cannot see my duties, what do I do?
Duties will only be available to view on employee online once the 4 week roster has been fully approved. This means it has been approved on the system by the Ward Manager and Matron. You should speak with your manager.

I am having trouble requesting duties because there are no weeks available to submit requests, what do I do?
You are only able to submit duty requests if your roster creator (usually the Ward Manager) has opened a roster period to request submissions. You should speak with your manager.

If the roster creator has opened the roster to requests and you are still having trouble please contact us by telephone on 01253 953690 or email bfwh.e-rostering@nhs.net, clearly stating your full name and department. The team will contact you as soon as they can.
