Shift Swapping

Table of Contents
Shift swapping allows employees to offer their shift to others or exchange shifts with a co-worker, while keeping managers in control of approvals.

Who is this for? This guide is for employees using the View My Schedule page and the main dashboard.

Ways You Can Swap a Shift

There are two ways to use shift swapping:

  1. Offer your shift – you want someone else to work your shift, and you don’t need one in return.
  2. Swap your shift – you want to trade your shift with someone else’s shift.
Important: Your company may require supervisor approval for any shift changes. If approval is needed, the swap isn’t final until the supervisor approves it.

1. Offer Your Shift (Give It Away)

Use this when you simply want another employee to take your shift. You will no longer be scheduled for that time if someone accepts and any required approvals are completed.

Steps

  1. Go to VIEW MY SCHEDULED
  2. Find the shift you want to offer and click SWAP SHIFT.
Shift tile with the SWAP SHIFT option.

Offer your shift and click GO.

  1. The shift will change to show that it has been offered.
