How do I get my Shift Covered?

If you find that you can't work a shift, you might consider getting your shift covered by one of your coworkers.

If you use a spreadsheet or another platform for scheduling and only use Breakroom to cover shifts:

  1. From the mobile app, go to the Schedule tab
  2. Click on the "+" icon in the top right and select "Get Shift Coverage"
  3. Fill out shift information and click Save
  4. You can see your Available shift in the Schedule tab or under "Get shift coverage" in the Chat tab
  5. You are still responsible for your shift until you receive a notification saying your manager has approved the shift coverage

If you have an existing shift in Breakroom

From the mobile app:
Go to the Schedule tab, switch to "My Schedule", and tap the shift you would like to get covered.

Once you're looking at the shift details, tap the options button (3 dots) at the top right corner of your screen, then tap "Request coverage".

You'll get confirmation that coverage has been request and a reminder that you are still responsible for the shift until another employee is approved to cover your shift. You will receive a notification when another employee is approved to cover your shift.
