Overview

If one of your coworkers invites you to trade shifts (swap) or take a shift (drop), you can accept the request from your computer.

You can also accept swap and drop requests from your iOS device or Android device.

How am I notified about a swap or drop request?

If you are eligible to take or trade shifts:

• We’ll send you an email and/or a mobile alert based on your alert preferences.
• The Notification Bell in the top-left corner of the When I Work web app shows a count badge. Click Notification Bell for more information.
