Shift Change Requests
An automatic scheduling feature on your mobile
Employees can manage auto-shift swapping through their accounts on the RosterElf mobile app. Employees can tap the shift they want to swap and leave a comment about why.
Once requested, RosterElf will automatically select qualified employees who are available to be notified. Once a replacement is found to get the shift covered, a notification is sent for management approval.
Manager Approval
Get roster updates right away
As a manager, you'll immediately get a notification of any roster change requests. This allows you to keep on top of pending requests or those requiring approval within the rostering software.
You can approve shift changes within your RosterElf account. All requests are listed in order of priority; managers click the shift to show shift details and then click approve.

When a staff member requests a shift swap, RosterElf automatically selects employees that are a perfect match to fill it. Only those who are qualified to work the change will receive a notification.
Through RosterElf's perfect match algorithm, managers no longer have to worry about finding the right staff to fill the gaps. The shift-swapping software automatically does this for you.
