How to apply for a swap#
For: Shift worker You’ll need: An open offer on the swap marketplace that you’re eligible to take.
Found a shift you want? Apply for it. For a give-away you just say yes; for a 1:1 swap you also offer one of your own shifts in return.
Apply#
Open Planning → ‘Swap marketplace’ and click the offer.
Click ‘Apply’.
For a 1:1 swap, choose the shift you’ll give in return from the ‘Offered shift’ dropdown. The list only contains your own upcoming shifts that the colleague is qualified to take.
(Optional) Add a note for the person and the manager.
Click ‘Apply’ to submit.
What happens#
What happens next depends on your company’s rules:
Approval required — the offer moves to ‘Pending approval’ and a manager is notified. Nothing changes on the schedule until they approve.
No approval needed — the swap is approved straight away and the shift moves to you (and your return shift moves to the other person, for a 1:1 swap).
The person who posted the offer is notified that you applied. If several people apply, only one is chosen — everyone else’s application is declined and they’re told.
Note
You can apply to more than one offer. You can withdraw an application any time before it’s approved — see How to withdraw a swap offer or application.
Verify it worked#
The offer page shows your application with status ‘Pending’ (or the swap completes immediately if no approval is needed). When the decision is made, you get an email.
