When you select one of your future shifts you’ll see the option to Swap, Hand over, or Sell the shift on an iOS device or under the + icon on Android.

  • A Swap request allows you to exchange shifts with a colleague. They'll get your shift, you'll get their shift. Perfect for swapping an early start for your colleague's late one.

  • A Hand over request allows you to give the shift directly to a colleague without replacing it. Use this when you have a specific person in mind to replace you when you can't make it to work.

  • Use Sell to make the shift available for your colleagues to request. It's a convenient way to find a replacement when you can't work a shift.

Please note:

The shift will remain yours in all three scenarios until a colleague accepts your request and a manager approves it.

Shifts with a request that is awaiting approval will display a pending icon. You can always cancel the exchange before the other party acts on it or a manager approves it.
