In factories, hospitals, and retail, shift swapping is a headache. "Can I swap Saturday with John?" If verbal, the schedule breaks and payroll comes out wrong. **Jestor Forms** formalizes the request and approval.

### **The Swap Flow**

1. **Request:** Employee fills in: "Swap the 10th for the 12th with John."
2. **Agreement:** The system can notify John for him to "Agree."
3. **Approval:** The manager validates if the swap doesn't generate undue overtime.
4. **Update:** The official schedule is updated automatically.

### **Payroll Record**

HR has a digital record of all swaps, avoiding labor disputes about absences or incorrect payments.

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**Does it work on mobile?** Yes. The employee requests the swap via their own phone, without needing to go to HR.

**Does the system check hour bank?** You can configure it to show the employee's hour balance at the moment of request.

**Does it work for days off?** Yes. The same form can be used to request excused absences or comp time.

### **Conclusion**

With **Jestor Forms**, schedule management stops being a puzzle and becomes an auditable process.
