Give an assignment to a colleague

Ask one colleague to take your assignment without giving you one in return. If you want to offer it to eligible colleagues without choosing a person, use the job board.

If the action is missing, ask your administrator. The phone calls an assignment a shift.

On your phone

1. Open Schedule > My schedule. Choose the date, tap your shift and open View details if needed.
2. Tap Give. Under SELECT CANDIDATE, select an eligible colleague. Use Search by name… to find them.
3. Add a note if useful, then tap Give shift. If rule violations appear, the request has not been sent. Close the message and resolve the issue or contact your administrator. Only users with the explicit override permission can submit despite these violations.
4. Follow the request in Requests > Sent.

On the web

1. Open Scheduling > Staff Requests > Manage Change Requests, then click Add.
2. Choose Give Assignments, then click Start Wizard.
3. Choose the date range, click Search and select your assignment or assignments. Click Next.
4. Select the colleague who will receive the assignments, then click Next. If the colleague is missing, clear Show Only Unassigned Staff and check again.
5. Review the assignments and recipient, add a comment if useful, then click Submit.

Good to know

• You remain responsible until final approval. The recipient usually agrees first, then an administrator decides.
• The phone handles one shift at a time; the web can give several to the same colleague.
• If a colleague is missing, ask your administrator to check their eligibility for the role on the assignment date.
• Check the request status before retrying after an error. Use the web to withdraw a pending request.
