Can I use eligible jobs instead of adding an assignment?

Yes, you can but it's not a direct replacement.

Use eligible jobs in these scenarios.

• The worker is eligible to work on more than one job but may or may not be actually working on that job.
• There's no overlap of jobs or the overlap is for a short period.. For example, providing relief for someone who didn't turn up for work.

Use additional assignment in these scenarios.

• Worker is working on multiple assignments at the same time
• Period of overlap of jobs is long enough to maintain multiple assignments
