The objective of this tutorial is to help you understand how to trade a shift (swap shifts) with one of your coworkers.

Overview

Access from your: Android device

Applies to: 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:

  1. ‘Employees can trade shifts' must be enabled under the ‘Settings’ module to give access to trading shifts by your admin/manager.

  2. If the approval settings are enabled by the management, then the manager’s approval is must required for shift trade, which may delay how quickly a shift is offered to your coworkers.

  3. It is up to the manager to approve or reject the request.

  4. When you create a trade, the shift is still your responsibility until it is picked up by one of your coworkers.

The scenario outlined in this tutorial consists of the following building blocks:

  1. Trade or Swap Shifts

  2. Cancel Your Trade Requests

Trade or Swap Shifts

Step 1: Go to the ShiftPlanning module from the bottom panel > Tap My section to access your shifts > Navigate to the timeline that you need > Tap on the shift you are interested in to trade, as shown in Image 1.
