Travel on a shift

Where travel terms come from and how travel is captured per worker.

Last updated · 2 August 2026


Travel is tied to the participant agreement and to each worker, not drawn on the roster. There is no travel indicator on the Planner chip.

Travel terms on the shift

When you create or edit a shift, the Available travel terms field shows, read-only, which travel terms the selected participant’s agreement allows. If their agreement has none, it reads No travel terms are available for the selected participant. (For Group Support this becomes …participants., and a term only shows when every participant on the shift shares it.)

The Edit Shift drawer showing the read-only row in the Shift details section: Geofencing, Clock-in window and Available travel terms, all inherited rather than set on the shift.
1 Available travel terms are read-only, drawn from the participant agreement.
2 Beside them sit the two clock-in gates, also read-only, inherited from Account > Features.

Travel per worker

The actual travel for a shift is captured against each worker’s assignment, inside Manage assignments, rather than on the shift as a whole. That keeps travel attached to the worker who did it.

Travel is recorded on the phone and reviewed in the office. There is no way to add a leg from the office: a leg exists because a worker recorded it. The assignment’s Travel section lists what they captured (“Worker travel on this shift. With the participant in the car bills as participant transport; otherwise it’s provider travel.”), and selecting a row opens the Travel review drawer, where you can check the route on a map, correct the details, then approve or delete the leg.

Three fields are required before a leg can be approved, each marked with a red asterisk: Destination (MMM), Distance (km) and Support code. An empty distance blocks approval; an explicit 0 is a valid answer for a leg that recorded no movement.

Note

Travel is an optional workspace capability. With Travel capture switched off under Account > Features > Scheduling, no travel is offered on the phone and there is nothing to review here. See Workspace features.

Note

Once provider travel for an assignment has started, the shift’s planned details lock, just as they do once a worker clocks in. You can still manage assignments and cancel.

Tip

To change which travel terms are available, update the participant’s service agreement, then reopen the shift to see the refreshed terms.
