Team calendar and shift changes

See who is working and who is off, and swap, move or take off a shift for one day.

Updated 31 October 2026

Team calendar shows each role's shifts day by day for the people you can see: your team as a line manager, and everyone for HR.

Read it

  • Choose Week, Fortnight or Four weeks, and move with ‹ Earlier, Today and Later ›.
  • Each row is a person and one of their roles, grouped by department. Each day's heading shows the hours scheduled and how many are off.
  • The key shows Shift, Leave, Sickness, Waiting for a decision and Changed for the day.
  • Filter with Find someone, Department, and Show: Off in this period or With a changed shift.

Absences show only their type and times. Notes and reasons stay with HR.

Change a shift for one day

Line managers change the shifts of the roles they manage, from today onwards. HR can change anyone's.

  1. Choose the shift.
  2. Under Change it for this day, choose one:
    • Swap with someone else's shift, then choose who in Swap with. Only people you manage who work that day are offered.
    • Move it to new times, then set Starts and Ends.
    • Take it off.
  3. Add a Reason (optional) and choose Save the change.

Both people are told. The working pattern stays as it is: only that day changes. To undo it, choose the shift again and Put the usual shift back.
