Employee loan time-frames

The employee loan and borrow feature is designed to facilitate short-term employee assignments. It is recommended to create employee loan requests for periods of time that are the same length or shorter than a single schedule period. For example, a store that creates schedules on a weekly basis should borrow employees using week-long requests.

Loans for longer periods can be difficult to manage if it becomes necessary to cancel a previously approved loan. Loans cannot be canceled if any dates in the loan period are in the past. Loans also cannot be canceled if the employee has any shifts scheduled during the borrow period in the borrowing store. If a store requires employees from other stores on a long-term basis, then it is recommended to use multiple loan requests to split up the loan period. Or, you can add temporary team assignments in the employee profile.
