You can give up a future shift or swap it for one of your own — but only for shifts that haven't started yet.
What you can and can't trade
- The shift must actually be assigned to you.
- It must be in the future — you can't trade a shift that already started or is in the past.
- You can only have one open offer per shift at a time.
- If your company organizes work by location, a direct offer to a specific coworker only works if you share at least one location with them.
Two ways to offer a shift
- Public offer — anyone at your company (except you) can see it in a shared feed and accept it.
- Direct offer — sent to one specific coworker by name.
Accepting or declining
- Anyone can accept a public offer (first to accept gets it); only the named coworker can accept or decline a direct one.
- You can't accept your own offer.
- If someone else already accepted it, or it expired, you'll see "Offer is not open" or "Offer expired" — offers are open for 24 hours by default.
- You (the person who posted it) can cancel your own offer at any time while it's still open.
Proposing a swap instead of a giveaway
Instead of just accepting a shift, a coworker can counter with one of their own upcoming shifts, proposing to trade one-for-one:
- Only one counter-offer can be pending on an offer at a time — a second attempt gets "Offer is already in negotiation".
- The counter shift must be a different shift than the one being offered.
- Only you (the original poster) can accept or decline the counter — the person who countered can also withdraw it themselves.
- Counter-offers expire faster than the original offer — 12 hours by default. If nobody acts in time, it simply reverts to open.
When a swap is accepted, both shifts change hands at once. If either shift was already taken by something else in the meantime, you'll see a double-booking message rather than a broken swap — nothing gets applied half-way.
Notifications
You'll be notified when someone accepts, declines, or counters your offer, and when your own accept/decline needs to happen on someone else's counter.
