Swap instructions: You are shown a table containing all the shifts currently assigned to you (or to your institution if you are a contact). Choose the ones you want to swap, then scroll down the page and select the period into which you would like to swap. Click 'Next' and you are presented with a list of options, given the constraints imposed by our swap rules (you can go back and change the target period if you wish). Select now the desired set and click 'Next'. You are asked to review and confirm the transaction. Click 'OK' and you are done - the new configuration will be shown on the screen.

Memberships: This person can not be deleted from this table because he/she is listed
as active in the HPS membership database.
If he/she is no longer with your group, please email Bryan McKinnon
with the date when the person left your group. Once that information is
entered in the membership DB, you will have the option to delete the
person from the shift list. Find more details in the FAQ.

Time share: This is the fraction of the year the person
contributes to your institute's service work.
If someone joins say in March, their time share
would be 75 %, if a person leaves in June they
contribute 50 % etc.

Percentage done: The percentage done acts as a multiplicative
factor, e.g 0.2 FTE with 50 % done is 0.1 FTE.
For example a paper review half done may be
listed either as 0.1 FTE 100 % or as 0.2 FTE
with 50 % done. What matters here is only the
claimed FTE, which in both cases is 0.1

Shift swaps

You must log in order to assign and/or swap shifts. The swap schedule is as follows:

Foreign institutions swap between Jun 16, 2021 and Nov 05, 2021
Domestic institutions swap between Jun 16, 2021 and Nov 05, 2021
After that, the only option is to trade

To start swapping shifts, you must log in. You can then choose one of these courses of action:

Institutional contacts swap shifts first, then assign names or ask members to sign up, or
Institutional contacts assign names and leave it to the members to swap their own shifts, or
Members sign up and then swap their own shifts

Only the first option was available in the past, but some might now prefer one of the other options.
Please note that you can now (and is recommended to) sign up as early as your swap period starts.

Here's the actual function used:

function getManpower($iid){

   // Don't count exempt members (maternity leave, other medical conditions)
   $total = mysqlResult("SELECT COUNT(name) FROM smembers WHERE institute='$iid' AND expert>=0");
   $experts = mysqlResult("SELECT COUNT(name) FROM smembers WHERE institute='$iid' AND expert>0");
   $xratio = $experts/$total;

   // Compare with the actual HPS Membership DB numbers
   $today = date("Y-m-d");
   $mdb_tot = mysqlResult("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Person, History, Institute WHERE"
              . " (History.start <= '$today' AND History.end >= '$today') AND (History.person = Person.id)"
              . " AND (History.classtatus = 'Term' OR History.classtatus = 'Full') AND"
              . " (Institute.id = Person.institute) AND (Institute.acronym = '$iid')", "membership");
   if($mdb_tot > 0 && $mdb_tot < $total){
     $total = $mdb_tot;
     $experts = floor($xratio*$total);
   }
   $workers = $total - $experts;

   return array($experts, $workers);
}
