My Scheduled Week

Overview

The My Scheduled Week page allows employees to view their weekly work schedule in one place. Employees can review their assigned shifts, including work dates, shift times, and scheduled details. The page also allows employees to see who is scheduled to work with them each day, claim available Open Shifts, and submit Shift Trade Requests to exchange scheduled shifts with eligible employees.

My Scheduled Week Screen

The My Scheduled Week screen provides employees with a weekly view of their scheduled shifts.

Employees can review their assigned shifts by date and time, see who is scheduled to work with them each day, claim available Open Shifts, and submit Shift Trade Requests to exchange shifts with eligible employees.

My Schedule Shift
View your scheduled shifts, including dates, working hours, and shift details.

Team Schedule
See which team members are scheduled to work alongside you during the week.

Open Shift
View available open shifts and claim a shift that matches your availability.

Claim an Open Shift

Employees can request an available Open Shift from the My Scheduled Week screen.

When an employee claims an Open Shift, the request is sent to the manager for review. The shift is assigned to the employee only after the manager approves the request.

Steps

1. Open My Scheduled Week.
2. Locate the available Open Shift.
3. Select the Open Shift you want to claim.
4. Verify that the shift fits your availability and does not conflict with another scheduled shift.
5. Select Claim Shift.
6. Review the claim request details.
7. Select Confirm to submit the request.

After submission, the claim request is sent to the manager for review.

Manager Review of Open Shift Requests

Managers can review Open Shift claim requests from the Manage Open Shift Requests section.

Managers can review the employee requesting the shift and the Open Shift details before taking action.

Approve a Claim Request

1. Open Manage Open Shift Requests.
2. Locate the pending Open Shift claim request.
3. Review the employee and shift details.
4. Select Approve.
5. Confirm the approval.

Once approved, the Open Shift is assigned to the employee and becomes part of their scheduled shifts.

Reject a Claim Request

1. Open Manage Open Shift Requests.
2. Locate the pending Open Shift claim request.
3. Review the employee and shift details.
4. Select Reject.
5. Confirm the rejection.

Once rejected, the Open Shift is not assigned to the employee.

Open Shift Claim Workflow

Open Shift Available → Employee Claims Shift → Claim Request Submitted → Manager Reviews Request

Manager Approves → Shift Assigned to Employee → Appears in My Scheduled Week

Manager Rejects → Request Rejected → Shift Not Assigned

Note: Claiming an Open Shift only submits a request. The shift is assigned to the employee after the manager approves the claim request.

Shift Trade

The Shift Trade feature allows employees to request changes to their scheduled shifts directly from the My Scheduled Week screen.

Employees can use the Trade Shift icon on an assigned shift to choose between two options:

• Swap Shift — Request to exchange the selected shift with a shift assigned to another eligible employee.
• Drop Shift — Give up the selected shift so it can become an Open Shift for another eligible employee to claim.

For a Swap Shift, the selected employee must approve the request before it is sent to the manager for final approval.

For a Drop Shift, the shift becomes available as an Open Shift, which can then be claimed by another eligible employee and submitted to the manager for approval.

Important: A shift is not changed or reassigned until the required approval process is completed.

The Shift Trade option is available directly from an employee's scheduled shift in My Scheduled Week.

When an employee selects the Trade Shift icon, SpendWell displays two options:

Employees can select the option that matches the action they want to perform.
