Written by Charles Vallières

You can ask your colleagues for a shift trade with the app and on our website. Here are five things that you should know first.

1. Your administrator must enable the feature

If your organization does not activate these settings, you can't trade or swap shifts.

2. You can only trade with employees of the same position and location

If you don't see a team member, reach out to your manager to verify this.

3. In some cases, a displayed shift may still be unavailable to trade

There may be some edge cases when trading shifts where the system will return the message is not available. In this case, deselect the shift and try with another one.

4. Your colleagues may decline to trade

A trade requires bother parties to agree. Just sending the request doesn't guarantee the trade will happen.

5. Your manager must approve the trade

Even after your colleague accepts to trade, a manager must approve it.
