STA and MTA without the spreadsheet

Short Term / Medium Term Respite

Respite is booked at short notice, staffed at short notice, and claimed on lines most rosters never touch. STA and MTA behave less like an ongoing service and more like a stay — with a start, an end, a bed and a ratio — and that is how WhizPro treats them.

What changes

  • Short-notice bookings staffed without a group chat
  • Ratio and daily-rate items claimed correctly
  • One view of who is staying, where, and with whom

What WhizPro handles

Bookings that are stays, not shifts

A respite booking has a start, an end, a participant and a place. Staffing is built underneath it, so cover for the whole stay is one thing to check rather than fourteen.

  • Stay-based bookings with arrival and departure
  • Capacity per site so a bed is never double-booked
  • Staffing built beneath the booking, gaps visible
  • Cancellations handled under price guide rules

Filling a shift by Friday afternoon

Short-notice cover is what respite lives or dies on. Unfilled shifts go out to the staff who are available and qualified, and are claimed by the first to accept.

  • Open shifts published to eligible staff only
  • Availability set by staff in the mobile app
  • Managers notified when a shift is still open
  • Overlap blocked before a double-booking is saved

The STA lines, priced properly

Short-term accommodation is claimed per day at a ratio, inclusive of what is provided during the stay. Those items come from the same maintained catalogue as everything else.

  • STA and MTA items at the correct ratio
  • Daily rates rather than hourly, where the item says so
  • Plan budget checked before the stay is confirmed
  • Bulk claim export at the end of the period

Rostering, participant records, claiming, compliance and finance run on the same record underneath this.
