Common questions
Practical answers before you set up shift swap app
- Why use a shift swap app instead of WhatsApp?
- A shift swap app keeps requests, approvals, and final rota changes in one place so managers are not reconstructing decisions from messages.
- Can managers approve every swap?
- Yes. Weekola is designed so managers retain control before swaps affect the working rota.
- Does shift swapping require a rota?
- Yes. Weekola's shift swap module depends on rota data because staff need scheduled shifts to swap.
