Employees may also be given the ability to request ‘Shift Swaps’. In these scenarios the employee must select a colleague that they would like to swap shifts with.
By selecting a colleague the system will automatically inform the employee of the ‘New Shift’ they will be required to work (if any).
Explanation of the example below;
i) Employee 0001 Elaine White is scheduled to work from 08:00 – 16:00 on Friday 30th November.
Ii) Employee 0001 Elaine White requests to swap shifts with employee 0002 Susan O’Byrne
iii) The system informs Elaine White that if the shift swap is approved she will now be scheduled to work from 09:00 – 17:30 on Friday 30th November.
iv) The system informs Elaine White that Susan O’Byrne’s new working shift will be from 08:00 – 16:00 on Friday 30th November if the shift swap is approved.
