Predetermined shift trades

The Shift Trade Request form can be used to create either a one-way shift trade or a two-way shift trade. The first section of the form allows the requester to schedule a substitute to take over the requester’s original shift, specified by a time range. The requester completes the second section to choose another shift to work in return for trading off the requester’s original shift.

In a predetermined one-way shift trade, one shift is traded between the requester and their substitute. The substitute takes over the requester’s original shift, but the requester does not take over a shift for the substitute. In a predetermined two-way shift trade, the substitute takes over the requester’s original shift and, in return, the requester takes over a shift for the substitute.
