Recurring Jobs
David Telfer
Allow for jobs to be recurring and not just one time. Have the option for them to be set up so that they can be recurring at different intervals ie daily, weekly, monthly. How it currently is setup I have to constantly add jobs back to the list after they complete it so it is a recurring job for myself to deal with.

Option for jobs to be repeatable, or chores to payout

It would be nice to have the option to assign a dollar amount to a chore so that when it's completed it will payout like a job, or make jobs repeatable. This way kids can share chores, trade chores, or be motivated to complete extra chores.

Recurring jobs
Debbie Carraway
I would like to be able to set up recurring jobs so that I do not have to enter items that repeat by hand.
For example, I want to pay a small amount to encourage my child to read a book of 100+ pages. I want this job to be ongoing, so while they should be able to check it off and get paid, I should not then have to re-enter the job manually each time they read a book. (read a 100+ page book each week)
But ideally...
As an improvement to this, I would like the ability to create jobs that can be completed a finite number of times (read a 100+ page book 25 times)
Further, I'd like to be able to set a time period that the job is available, (read a 100+ page book 25 times between June 1 and August 15)
As a further improvement, I would like the ability to schedule recurring jobs with due dates on a flexible basis rather on specific dates, such as every Monday, 4th Thursday of the month, Tuesday and Friday, etc. (read a 100 page book every Tuesdsay and Friday between June 1 and August 15)
Finally, I would love the abilitiy to change a due date in a recurring series, so that if the date due is normally Thursday but one week we will be traveling, I'd like to be a ble to delete that instance and to also be able to move it to different date. (read a 100+ page book on Tuesday and Friday between June 1 and August 15, except not due on July 4) or (read a 100+ page book on Tuesday and Friday between June 1 and August 15 except change the July 4 instance to July 5)

Thank you for sharing this with us, Debbie. We’re always working to improve the Greenlight experience and will be sure to share your feedback with the team.

Agreed. I would like to reinforce some behaviors that are above-and-beyond to encourage them to try harder things as they grow. Reoccuring jobs would make that possible, and awesome!

I was very disappointed to signup for Greenlight and see that Jobs cannot be recurring on the same type of schedule logic as Chores.
I would like to create a group of chores that the kids complete and checkoff that are not tied to an allowance or reward. I would then like to reward specific jobs that are paid each time but expected to do every week, or multiple times per week.

Option for repeating or reoccurring jobs, like mowing the lawn, which may be once or twice a week during the summer and none in winter.

Hi Joel, we’re so grateful for your feedback! We’re always looking for ways to improve, and your input is valuable to us.

PLEASE do this. Its a big miss on an otherwise pretty good UI.
Its a feature on chores so should be a VERY easy coding update.

Recurring jobs. Having to retype jobs every time one is completed is a constant and unnecessary hassle. Amending the code to simply reactivate a paid job without it disappearing does not take a year+ to accomplish. Since this small tweak has been so long in coming and is the number 2 most requested feature, I feel like the company responses are only lip service.
Please fix the recurring jobs issue soon. I like the app, but I'm looking into competitors due to non-responsiveness on this feature.
