Roster - Request approval from an employee to work a shift outside of standard hours

Managers can send a shift request to an employee to work a shift that is outside of their standard hours.

Ensure the right settings are in place

First as a precondition, you will need to turn the feature on in Company Settings. This will serve as a basis for the minimum break hours.

Create the shift and assign

1. Open the Roster via the main navigation bar

2. Add a shift that is outside of the employee's standard hours
3. Click OK
4. A red flag will appear on the shift along with the alert: Shift is outside of standard hours
5. Click on the shift
6. Click Temporarily vary standard hours
7. Fill in the additional shift which will then be sent to the employee as a request

•  Once the shift request has been sent, the shift will be flagged as blue which means it is pending. 
• The employee will have the option to Accept or Decline the request
• If the employee accepts the request, the shift will be published
• If the employee declines the request, the shift will not be published and will show as Unassigned in the roster.
