  1. From the ETM main menu bar, click Work Schedule.
    The Work Schedule page is displayed.
  2. Click the Swap Shifts tab to access a Shift Trade Request form.
  3. Select your substitute. A substitute is an employee who can take over your original shift.
  4. In the Please Complete this section for 1 way Shift Trades section select the date of the shift you want to trade in the Date Affected field.
  5. Do one of the following:
    • Select the Overnight check box to indicate that the shift occurs overnight.
    • Clear the Overnight check box to indicate that the shift does not occur overnight.
  6. Do one of the following:
    • To trade your entire shift for the date selected, leave the From drop-down lists blank.
    • To trade only part of your shift for the date selected, indicate the time your substitute should start working your shift in the From drop-down lists.

    • To trade your entire shift for the date selected, leave the To drop-down lists blank.

You cannot indicate a time range outside of what you were originally scheduled for (for example, you cannot trade a 12:00 PM– 06:00 PM shift if you were originally scheduled to work 09:00 AM – 03:00 PM).
