Ask a colleague to take over your shift

Can't work? Ask a colleague to take over your shift. Your colleague accepts first, then your manager decides.

Who can do this? Everyone

Can't do a confirmed shift after all? Then find a colleague who wants to take over yourself. That way your manager doesn't have to look for a replacement.

Ask for a takeover

  1. Open Requests. Your confirmed shifts are under My upcoming shifts.

  2. Tap Ask for takeover (1) next to the shift.

    The My upcoming shifts list with the Ask for takeover button
  3. Choose the colleague (1) who will take over and optionally add an explanation for the manager (2).

    The Ask for takeover window with the choice of colleague and a note
  4. Tap Send takeover request.

What happens next?

  1. Your colleague gets a notification and accepts or declines. See Answer a takeover request.
  2. Once your colleague has accepted, your manager decides.
  3. If the manager approves, your colleague takes over the shift. You both get a notification.

Under My requests you see how far your request has got. As long as nothing has been decided, you can withdraw it with Withdraw request.
