# Bailouts

> Bailouts and how your workers can resign from the shift.

Roosted has a partially automated bailout system for your benefit.

## What are bailouts?

A bailout is a worker removing a shift from their schedule.

## How does a worker bailout from a shift?

### Desktop

A worker can bailout from a shift in "Go To My Shifts" - "Bailout" and  "Bailout" again to confirm.

A confirmation message will appear to inform them that if they Bailout, it may affect their ability to be scheduled for future events.  This Bailout message is customizable through your settings.

### Mobile App

Current shifts - scroll to the event to Bailout from & tap Bailout. It will display the same warning message, the bailout must be confirmed by tapping "Bailout".

## How can admins bail workers out?

An admin can also bail out a worker. This is useful if bailouts are locked and you still want to impose a penalty on the worker for late notice of their inability to work.

### Event Page

Admins can go to the main edit event page, scroll down, and click on the worker in question. Then, click **Bailout**. Please note that it will not ask for confirmation; the worker will be bailed out with one click.

### Workers Module

You can bailout workers in the workers module from the admins bar. Click the wrench on the right side on the worker - Schedule - Future Shifts - Bailout & Confirm.

## Impact of bailing out of a shift

Bailing out from a shift has different impacts, primarily depending on how often and when the worker bails out. If a worker bails out a week before the event, there is a penalty, but if they bail out the day before, the penalty is much more severe. You can adjust bailout settings on your account to suit your preferences.

Please see **[Bailout Settings](https://support.roostedhr.com/en/articles/9491447-bailout-settings)** for more information.  Bailouts can also be selectively turned on or off through the **[Main Event Page](./main-event-page)** under Options.

And this is how bailouts work through Roosted! 😎
