Accept or reject a shift
TimeForge is a great tool for managers because it makes employee scheduling and tracking attendance simple.
TimeForge is also great for employees because it gives them the power to accept or reject their shifts for someone else to pick up. If an employee decides to deny their shift and give it up, manager approval will still be required before it takes effect.The employee will have to log in to their TimeForge account and follow these steps to accept or reject their shift.
Log in to employee account
From the “Today” Tab, the employee can view their upcoming shifts and determine whether they can “Confirm” their shift or if they need to “Give Up” that shift.
Accept or reject the shift.
The employee’s upcoming work schedules are displayed in an easy to read format, and include today’s scheduled shifts as well as any upcoming shifts that managers have posted. Each shift includes the start and end times, as well as the position (and section) the employee is supposed to work.
Click on “Confirm” or “Give Up“ for any particular shift, which acts as a way to accept or reject the shift.
Note: If the employee confirms a shift, there is no other action needed for that shift
Give up the scheduled shift.
On the “Give Up Shift” screen, review that the shift information is correct. You can also enter a brief message that will be shown to other staff members and managers before they pick up the shift or before management approves the shift.
Click “Give Up” when you are finished.
Shift swap is pending.
After you give up the shift, it will be “pending” until someone picks it up and the manager approves the swap.
You can pick it back up on the “Today” page.
