Shift Swap and Coverage Requests
Handle coverage and swaps without the scramble
Shiftelix keeps coverage requests and swaps tied to eligibility checks, approvals, and audit trails.
Problem
Coverage requests turn chaotic without guardrails
Manual swap approvals and coverage calls create compliance risk and slow response times.
- Open shifts spread across texts and emails
- Eligibility checks happen after approvals
- Coverage outcomes are hard to track
