shift swapping
Exchanging work times
Shift swapping is the practice of employees trading scheduled work shifts with each other, typically requiring supervisor approval.
Common in retail, healthcare, and food service where schedules vary: I found someone for a shift swap so I can go to the concert.
The arrangement lets workers handle conflicts without using paid time off.
