shift swap

Trading work times

A shift swap is an exchange of scheduled work shifts between two employees.

Common in retail, healthcare, and food service, it allows workers to trade hours without leaving shifts uncovered: I need to find someone for a shift swap—I can't work Saturday.

Most workplaces require manager approval for shift swaps.
