Overview
Access from your: Computer
Applies to: Managers, Supervisors, Schedulers and Employees
If you're unable to work one of your shifts, you can trade the shift (swap shifts) with one of your coworkers.
Things to know before you begin:
You must have a manager/admin, supervisors, schedulers and employee access privileges to trade a shift with your co-workers.
'Employees can trade shifts' must be enabled under the ‘Settings’ module to give access to your staff for this feature.
Manager approval is required for shift trade which may delay how quickly a shift is offered to your coworkers.
When you create a trade, the shift is still your responsibility until it is picked up by one of your coworkers.
You will receive a notification via Email and SMS.

Step 4: Select an employee from the list or use search bar if you have a particular coworker in mind who could potentially be able to pick up that shift > Click 'Send Request for 1 employee(s)' tab as shown in Image 4.
