Scheduling

The Schedule is the operational heart of N4 Safety. It shows when you’re assigned to serve and helps coordinate coverage across your safety team.

How Scheduling Works

Safety teams operate on a rotational squad system:

Your organization is divided into Squads (e.g., Squad A, B, C, D).
Each squad is assigned to specific weekends or events on a rotating basis.
Within each service, members are assigned to Posts (e.g., Lobby, Kids, Parking Lot).

Your Squad Lead coordinates coverage. If you can’t serve, use the Swap feature to trade shifts with another team member.

What You’ll Find

Key Concepts

Services

Regular weekend worship services that require safety coverage. Each service has a date, time, and configured posts.

Posts

Specific positions within a service (e.g., Pastoral Protection, Rear/Foyer, Kids, Parking Lot). Posts are configured by your Admin and vary by organization.

Squads

Groups of team members who typically serve together. Squads rotate through the schedule to ensure fair workload distribution.
