2. Create a shift by entering the required information.

Select from the dropdown lists:

- **Community** – Where the shift will take place
- **HERO Role** – The appropriate discipline for the shift
- **Supervisor** – The person responsible for managing and verifying the shift (e.g., DOR, RD, or Area/Regional Manager, depending on your organizational structure)

5. Based on the sessions entered and the hourly pay rate set for the discipline, the **TOTAL ESTIMATED SESSION TIME** and **ESTIMATED HERO PAYMENT** will populate. Review for accuracy.

***Note:*** Therapy HEROs are expected to be 100% productive, meaning total billable patient time should match the time the HERO is paid for.
