Create a new request to give away a shift

If you want to ask (one of) your colleagues to work your shift without getting another one in return, you can create a new request as follows:

1. Select Schedule.
2. (Optional) Select to toggle to the calendar view.
3. Navigate to the date on which you want to give away a shift.

   You can only create a request to give away a future shift.

4. Select the shift you want to give away.
5. Select REQUEST SWAP. A new window pops up.
6. SELECT WHICH SHIFT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SWAP: By default, the shift you selected in step 4 is selected. If you're assigned to multiple shifts on this date, you can alternatively select the one you want to give away.
7. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR SHIFT?: Select GIVE AWAY. You get a list of colleagues that are available to give away the selected shift.

   The availability of a colleague to give away a certain shift, depends on the required qualifications and applicable labor rules.

8. Choose one of the following options:
   • At the top of the list of available colleagues, select SEND TO ALL to send the request to all available colleagues. 
   • Select GIVE AWAY next to the colleague that you want to send the request to.
   A new window pops up with an overview of your request.
9. (Optional) Type a message to your colleague(s) in REMARK.
10. Select REQUEST SWAP. The request is sent to your colleague(s) for approval and its status becomes available in your Requests.

Your colleague can approve or reject your request. Depending on your organization's system configuration, further approval from your planner or manager is needed before the request is processed in your schedule.
