🎯 For employees. As an admin, learn about shifts here.

Shifts allow you to see the work you're scheduled for. Each shift will have a date and time, a shift type, a role, and a department. Optionally, if your manager has enabled, you will also see possible breaks and comments about your shift when you open a shift's details.


See all your upcoming shifts

In the app’s Overview screen, the Your shifts widget displays your upcoming shifts for the next few days. Tap See all to view all of the shifts that your manager has currently scheduled you for. Tap a shift to open further details about the shift.

When you open a shift, the date, time, Employee group and Department are displayed. Under shift details, you can also see a timeline and breaks (if they have been added to the shift by your manager). At the bottom, you can see which colleagues are working that day.

If it is a shift that will take place in the future, you will also see the options to swap, transfer or sell the shift via the blue round icons.
