How it works
From posted to paid.
A clinic needs cover, a locum has free days. CoverShift puts the two together directly, with no agency in between, for every profession. Both sides see the same status on every shift, so everyone knows whose move it is.

The workflow
01 Clinic
Post the dates
One shift, a repeating block or a few dates, with the place, hours, rate and any travel, accommodation or bonus. Type it in a sentence if that is quicker.
Status: Posted
Posted02 Locum
See them on the calendar
Open shifts for your profession sit on a calendar by date and place. Choose where, and get an email or a text when something new fits.
03 Locum
Apply for the dates you can work
Tick every date at that clinic you can do, propose your rate if it differs, choose the extras you need, and apply once.
Status: Applied
Applied04 Clinic
Choose who to book
Applicants side by side, in the order they applied, with registration and insurance as checked by us. Accept one date or all of them. Nobody is booked until you accept. Dates slow to fill? Add a bonus and matching locums hear about it.
Status: Booked
Booked05 Clinic and locum
Both get the booking confirmation
Every date, the agreed rate, bonus and extras, and each other's contact details, as a PDF in both inboxes.
06 Locum
Send your hours
After the day, check the start, finish and unpaid break, and send them. Long bookings are re-confirmed by both sides 30 and 7 days before.
07 Clinic
Approve the hours
Approve them or ask about them. If you do neither within 48 hours, they are approved so the locum can invoice.

Invoice in a minute
Worked shifts wait in your invoice queue with the hours, agreed rate and bonus filled in. Issue a PDF in the format the clinic needs.
Status: Invoiced

Pay the locum
Pay the locum directly, as you would any supplier, and record it. CoverShift never handles the money.
