Overlap Minutes

Overlap minutes control the maximum amount of time your scheduled shift can overlap with another employee’s shift that you want to add to your schedule. If you accept a pre-determined shift that overlaps with your currently scheduled shift, and the overlap minutes exceed the maximum amount set by the company, the system automatically rejects the trade.

Overlap minutes are not relevant when employees perform a two-way trade of entire shifts where the shift times overlap by any amount of time. For example, if Robert is scheduled to work 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Pam is scheduled to work 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM, they can exchange shifts without causing an issue with overlap minutes.
