How to offer a shift on the marketplace

How to offer a shift on the marketplace#

For: Shift worker You’ll need: A published shift assigned to you, far enough in the future that your company’s swap rules still allow it. Swaps must be turned on for your company.

Can’t work a shift you’ve been given? Offer it on the shift marketplace. Other eligible colleagues see it and can pick it up — either as a straight hand-off or as a trade for one of their own shifts.

Choose the swap type#

Your company decides which types are allowed:

  • Give away — someone else takes your shift and you get nothing back. Use this when you just need cover.

  • 1:1 swap — a colleague takes your shift and you take one of theirs in return.

Offer the shift#

  1. Open the shift from your schedule or shifts list.

  2. Click ‘Offer for swap’.

  3. Pick the type (give-away or 1:1 swap), if both are available.

  4. (Optional) Add a note for colleagues — why you need cover, or what you’re after in a trade.

  5. Click ‘Offer for swap’ to publish.

Note

If you don’t see the ‘Offer for swap’ button, the shift may be too close to its start time, already locked, or swaps may be off for your company. See Troubleshooting.

You start from the marketplace, not from the shift — the shift detail has no offer button.

  1. Tap More → ‘Shift marketplace’.

  2. Tap ‘Offer shift’ (the button at the bottom on Android, + in the top bar on iPhone).

  3. A ‘Pick a shift to offer’ sheet lists your upcoming shifts, minus any you’ve already offered. Tap the one you want to give up.

  4. On the ‘Offer shift’ form, set ‘Type’ — ‘Give away’ or ‘1:1 swap’.

  5. (Optional) Add a note for colleagues.

  6. Tap ‘Done’ (top-right) to publish.

Posting an offer needs a connection: offline the button is greyed out and the screen says “You’re offline. Connect to submit.” If the sheet says “You have no upcoming shifts to offer”, every shift you hold is either already offered or in the past.

What happens#

  • The offer goes live on the marketplace with status ‘Open’.

  • Every colleague who is qualified to work the shift (right position, right location, and — if your company requires it — the right skills) gets an email that the shift is available.

  • The offer stays open until someone is approved, you withdraw it, or it reaches its auto-reject deadline shortly before the shift starts.

Verify it worked#

The shift now shows an open-offer badge, and the offer appears under the ‘My offers’ view of the shift marketplace with status ‘Open’ — the ‘My offers’ segment on mobile.
