How to reject a swap

How to reject a swap#

For: Manager | Admin You’ll need: A swap offer with status ‘Open’ or ‘Pending approval’.

If a swap shouldn’t go ahead, reject it. Nothing on the schedule changes — the shift stays with the person who offered it.

Reject#

  1. Open Planning → ‘Manage swaps’ and click the offer.

  2. Click ‘Reject’.

What happens#

  • The offer’s status becomes ‘Rejected’.

  • Any pending applications are declined.

  • The original owner keeps the shift, and the people involved are emailed.

Note

Rejecting closes the offer for good. If the worker still needs cover, they can post a fresh offer — assuming the shift is still far enough out under your swap rules.

Verify it worked#

The offer shows a ‘Rejected’ badge and no longer accepts applications. The shift’s assignment is unchanged.
