Locum shifts for dentists and DSAs, and the book you keep after
Clinics post the date, the hours and the pay. Pick a date, message the clinic on WhatsApp, then keep the shift in your book: what each clinic owes you, when they usually pay, and what the year looks like.
After the shift, your book
A shift from the board goes in with one tap. Free, no limits. Try it with sample shifts · Open your book

For locums
You worked the Saturday. Weeks later you are scrolling back through the chat to ask again, politely.
A date offered in one group, a swap in another, and the one you said yes to is buried under the day's messages.
A transfer lands with no reference, and you cannot tell which clinic or which shift it was for.
When the form is due, you rebuild the year from bank statements and guesses.
A group chat.
Good for finding a date. But the agreement scrolls away, and nothing in it adds up what you are owed.
A spreadsheet or the notes app.
It works while you keep it up. After a long day nobody does, and it never tells you that a clinic is late.
The calendar on your phone.
It knows where to be, not what you were paid. The money still lives somewhere else.
None of these fail because you are disorganised. They fail because the shift, the date and the money live in three places. The book keeps them in one.
Your book
Every shift you have worked and not been paid for, by clinic, the late ones first, and how long each clinic usually takes to pay.
Your shifts on a calendar, a feed your phone's calendar can subscribe to, and a reminder the day before.
Earnings by month, expenses by category, and an estimate of the tax to set aside, through the published rates for the year.
From a shift on the board, Add to your shifts fills in the clinic, the date, the hours and the pay per hour.
For clinics
The leave was approved weeks ago. The patients were booked anyway.
Your busiest day, and one chair with nobody in it.
Calls and voice notes to friends of friends, for one date.
