Intended for: Employee | Application: Web + Mobile Application
Can't make it to your shift? In Dayswaps you can offer it to a colleague for exchange or request a replacement. Both options are available in the mobile app.
Swapping a Shift with a Colleague
Swapping (exchange) means you take your colleague's shift and they take yours. Both parties must agree and the manager approves the swap.
1. In the mobile app, open Calendar and tap the shift you want to swap.
2. Select the Swap / Replace option.
3. Choose the colleague you want to swap the shift with.
4. Confirm the request submission.
The colleague will receive a notification and must accept the exchange. The manager will then approve or reject it.
Offering a Shift as Available (Replacement)
If you want to offer the shift to the whole team without a specific colleague, choose the replacement option:
1. In the mobile app, open Calendar and tap the relevant shift.
2. Select I need a replacement (or a similar option depending on your employer's settings).
3. Confirm — the shift will appear in the offers for colleagues who can accept it.
The manager sees the request and approves the final assignment.
Important Information
Swapping and replacement are available in the mobile app only — this feature is not available on the web.
Not every employer has the swap feature enabled. If you don't see the option, contact your manager.
Submit your request with enough notice — the manager needs time to approve the change.
