Claiming an Empty Shift

Use the SwapBoard window to claim an empty shift. First you check whether or not you are allowed to claim the shift. If you cannot claim the entire shift, you can split it and check whether you are allowed to claim one of the split shifts. Then you can claim the portion that works for your schedule.

Note: An empty shift displays as a SwapBoard shift on the Calendar window and you can claim it from there or from the SwapBoard window. If your manager requires approval for swaps, they also approve claiming empty shifts.

To Claim an Empty Shift:

  1. Go to Swap.
    SwapBoard window displays.

  2. Under Available shifts, select .
    Claim window displays. It checks whether or not you could claim this shift.

  3. If NO displays under all of the checks, it is not possible to claim the entire shift. You can try to split the shift.

  4. If YES displays under all of the checks, select Claim if you want the entire shift. Claim window displays Completed.

  5. You can also split the shift. See Splitting a Shift.
