Shift Swap Requests

The Shift Swap Requests section appears near the bottom of the screen. You may need to click on the icon_black_down.jpg icon to maximize the section.

On any screen where employee's can view their own schedules, the [REQUEST SHIFT SWAP] icon appears below the colored bar denoting the scheduled shift. Clicking on this icon adds a request to the system.

This section allows employees to view the requests for a shift swap from other employees, and request to pick up the shift, if desired. All shift swap requests are sent to a supervisor for approval or denial.

The top of the section allows you to filter the types of requests that you would like to see.

  1. If you would like to view requests from employees in a desired home Department, click on the "No Department" link and make the desired selection from the menu that appears. Click on the Include Sub Departments option, if desired.
  2. Use the Scheduled Department field to filter the requests by the department level included in the shift up for swap. Click on the "No Department" link and make the desired selection from the menu that appears.
  3. The Status field allows you to filter the requests by status. Select "Open," "Pending Approval," "Approved," or "Denied" from the drop-down menu.
  4. Select the desired sort options from the Sort By drop-down menus.
  5. Click on the [VIEW SWAP REQUESTS] icon to view requests.

Shift Swap Requests are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

  • The Employee Name column displays the name of the employee who has sent the request.
  • The Date is the date of the shift up for swap.
