Swap a shift with a colleague

A swap lets an employee hand over a shift without chasing people in a group chat. The manager always has the last word.

Employee steps

1. On the Shifts tab, tap the shift you want to give away.
2. Tap Offer this shift.
3. Pick a colleague, or tap Offer to anyone eligible. You only see colleagues who do your role.
4. You see Request sent. Your manager confirms the swap.

Manager steps

1. Open the Requests tab. The swap shows who offers which shift and to whom.
2. Tap Approve or Decline.
3. When approved with a colleague who accepted, the shift moves to them. If nobody accepted, approving releases the shift as an open shift for eligible people. See Open shifts.

Good to know

• Swaps are a paid feature, included in the 14-day trial. After the trial the manager sees Unlock swaps instead of the buttons.
• The colleague has to be able to take the shift: right position, free, rested and within limits.
• A past shift cannot be swapped.
• Everyone involved gets a notification when the manager decides.
• Starting a new offer on the same shift cancels the previous one.
