1) Overview
The Shift Cover feature is available on certain accounts and allows users to find a replacement for their own shifts. This feature might be useful to organisations and their employees; as it allows users to find a replacement to a rostered shift that might not be able to work.
NOTE:
Depending on your organisations rules, you request for a shift cover (or your acceptance of a shift cover) may need to be approved by your immediate leader / employer. Please contact your immediate leader / employer to determine your organisations configuration (and policy) regarding requesting for (or) accepting of rostered shift covers.
Your employer / organisation will need this feature enabled for you to be permitted to use the rostered shift cover feature.
