SCHEDULING
**PRODUCTION TEAM SERVES BOTH SUNDAY SERVICES**
Planning Center might only reflect one service.
QUARTERLY SCHEDULE
TFH Production issues a quarterly schedule for all team members (Feb-Apr, May-July, Aug-Oct, Nov-Jan). TFH Production Staff will send out the schedule one week prior to the new schedule going out. For example Nov-Jan schedule will be emailed during the last week of October.
AVAILABILITY REQUESTS
One month prior to the new quarterly scheduling period begins, TFH Production Staff will send out an email giving the team almost two weeks to respond with their availability. Team members will communicate with the TFH Production staff directly with their availability. No reply means a “free for all” on scheduling. Dates these emails will be going out: Jan 1st, Apr 1st, July 1st, Oct 1st. TFH Production members have until the 12th of each month to get reply with availability. Once team members respond with their availability there will be no modifications to the schedule until the finalized schedule is released.
SCHEDULE PROCESS
Once the schedule is complete, Production staff will shoot out an email with the PDF of the entire quarter. This PDF will then be uploaded onto PCO. You are expected to view the pdf and PCO to ensure that you are fulfilling the planned schedule.
Planning Center ONLINE (PCO)
PCO is an online schedule and communication tool that Production Staff uses to send out reminders and for Production team members to view the run sheets and service items as they are strictly a reminder from the quarterly schedule. Please note that weekend and youth teams use Planning Center differently.
PLANNING CENTER REQUESTS FOR WEEKEND SERVICES SHOULD NOT BE DECLINED, AS THE SCHEDULED WAS ALREADY APPROVED. PLEASE SEND EMAIL / TEXT TO PRODUCTION LEADS IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH YOUR SCHEDULE
You can download the PCO App, or login on the web https://www.planningcenter.com/services.
