Shift Trades

Shift Trades

If your department allows shift trades or swaps, there is a tool in PlanIt's police scheduling software to easily manage them.

Once two people agree to a trade, the request will be sent to a supervisor for approval. There are multiple approvals you can set up within the system if you need more than one administrator to review the request. Once it is approved by the first admin, they can choose to pass it to the next person. You can continue to pass it on to numerous administrators until someone makes the final approval.

Once the request is approved, both people will be swapped on the schedule and receive a notification of the approval. The system will place a note on each of the traded shifts to make it clear it was the result of a swap.

Everyone in the department will have visibility of the swap on the Platoon View and Calendar View of the schedule. If it is their personal swap they will also see their new shift appear on their My Schedule View as well.
