What shift swaps do for you
-
Swaps from their phone
Staff ask to swap a shift, or drop it for a colleague to pick up, in the Rotageek app, and can see where each request stands.
- ✓Swap with a colleague
- ✓Drop a shift for cover
- ✓Track every request
-
Offered to the right people
Dropped shifts only go to colleagues who can take them, so anyone without the right skills, with an expired qualification or already working at that time is left out.
- ✓Matched on skills and qualifications
- ✓Clashing shifts ruled out
- ✓Alerts only to eligible staff
-
Approval that fits each site
Managers approve or reject each request and see who volunteered. Where teams can agree swaps between themselves, those swaps can be approved automatically at that site.
- ✓See who volunteered
- ✓Auto-approve agreed swaps by site
- ✓Rota updated once approved
Swaps and cover, sorted in the app
When plans change, staff sort cover in the Rotageek app and managers simply approve it, so shifts stay covered without the calls and messages.
- Less chasing for managers. Every swap, drop and open shift is handled in one place, not across texts and phone calls.
- Cover you can rely on. Only staff who are qualified and free can take a shift, so a swap never leaves a gap in skills.
- More flexibility for staff. Your team can fit work around their lives, with extra hours available across the sites you manage.
