Overview

Employees can use the Shift Trade module to post shifts they want to trade on an electronic bulletin board and to bid on posted shifts. Employees can perform shift trades with specified substitute employees. These predetermined shift trades allow employees to trade for another shift with another employee or to give a shift away to another employee.

Employees can post shifts for trade and bid on posted shifts using the Employee Transaction Manager (ETM). Employees can trade shifts with or give away shifts to specified substitutes using these modules:

  • Self Service Portal
  • ETM
  • Mobility
  • WFM desktop application

Employees can perform shift trades for their entire shift or for part of their shift. Shift trades can only occur between employees with the required job and skill qualifications to work the shifts being traded. Substitute employees must be available during the shift time.

Employees can perform shift trades with shifts that have been created in the Multi-view Scheduler (MVS), Labor Forecasting and Schedule Optimization (LFSO), and Time and Attendance modules.
