What to Do If You Can't Make a Shift
Can't Make a Shift?
If you know in advance:
- Try a direct shift swap first — go to My Shifts → right-click the shift → Request Swap
- If you don't have a swap partner, post an open swap — anyone qualified can take it
- If swapping isn't an option, request leave through the Leave Planner
- Notify your roster builder as soon as possible
If it's an emergency or sudden illness:
- Contact your roster builder or manager directly (phone/text)
- Submit a sick leave request through the Leave Planner as soon as you can
- The roster builder will find cover
Want to pick up extra shifts?
- Check Shift Deck → My Deck → Open Shifts for vacant shifts you can request
What NOT to do:
- Don't just not show up without notifying anyone
- Don't assume someone will cover for you without arranging it
- Don't modify the roster yourself (only roster builders can do that)
Ask IRIS: "What should I do if I can't make my shift?" for a quick reminder.
