Your home screen and schedule

Your home screen and schedule: what is on today, what is coming, and how to read the calendar.

Check today's work, your upcoming days, your calendar and the details of each shift in the Athena employee app.

Before you start

  • The app is installed and you are signed in. See Getting started with the Athena employee app.

Check your day on Home

  1. Tap Home in the bar at the bottom of the screen.

  2. Read the card headed Today and today's date. It lists the day's entries: a shift, a rota day or leave. For what each entry shows, see the Reference tables.

  3. Read Upcoming for your next days. Each day shows a shift, a rota day, leave or No activity.

  4. Tap View all to open Schedule in list view.

  5. Read Work cycle for your progress through the current cycle. For what the card shows, see the Reference tables.

Check your calendar on Schedule

  1. Tap Schedule. A month calendar shows your shifts and leave.

  2. Use the toggle at the top left to switch between Calendar view and List view.

  3. Tap a day. Its entries open below the calendar. A shift shows its times, its shift type, its status, and the gang, location, vessel and supervisor where they are set.

  4. Tap the Today pill at the top right to return to the current day.

  5. Tap the i button next to the view toggle to open the Calendar legend. It explains every colour and icon.

The Schedule toolbar can also show a Make yourself available button, an alarm clock icon to the left of the Today pill. See Making yourself available for a shift.

Open a shift's details

  1. On Schedule, tap a shift in the day's entries or in list view. Shift Details opens.

  2. Read the top row: the date, the status and the shift type.

  3. Read the times. Planned shift shows the start and end you were sent. For a worked shift, Actual shift shows the times you worked.

  4. For a worked shift, read Hours, Overtime and Break.

  5. Read Jobs. Each job shows your skill and the type of work, the time, and the gang, location and vessel where they are set.

Result

Home shows your day and your next days. Schedule shows your shifts and leave for the month. Shift Details shows the planned and worked times and each job on the shift.

Edge cases

  • The app shows a shift once your planner has published it. Changes to a shift appear once they are published.

  • A cancelled shift no longer appears.

  • If you have nothing on today, the Today card reads No activity.

  • A day on the calendar with nothing on it reads "No shifts scheduled".

  • A shift with no jobs reads "No jobs assigned to this shift."

  • A recorded no-show shows the status Absent.

  • Cards on Home do not open when you tap them. Open a shift from Schedule.

Common questions

Home shows "Something went wrong. Please try again later." What do I do?

Tap Retry. The screen tries to load again.

The calendar shows "Couldn't load calendar". What do I do?

Tap Retry.

Why is a shift missing, or showing old times?

The app shows each shift as your planner last published it. A shift that has not been published does not appear, and changes appear once they are published. Ask your planner if you expect a shift that is not shown.

Why are there no actual times on a shift?

Actual times, hours, overtime and breaks show only once the shift has been worked and recorded.

Why can I not see my overtime, or open my leave?

Overtime figures and leave are available only where they are enabled for your company. See Getting started with the Athena employee app.
