What is the "Shifts" section in the mobile app?
If your company has the new Shifts module enabled, employees can now manage their schedules directly from the new "Shifts" section available in the mobile app menu.
This section provides quick and intuitive access to all shift-related information. By tapping on it, employees will be able to:
- View their shift calendar and check their weekly schedule at a glance.
- Review upcoming shifts to better plan ahead.
How to access it:
- Open the Sesame mobile app.
- Go to the Apps section in the bottom menu.
- Switch to Employee view (if you're not already there).
- Tap on Shifts to open your calendar.
If your company has enabled shift swapping, employees will also see the swap icon 🔁 on their future shifts. By tapping it, they’ll be able to request a swap with a teammate. Once the request is submitted, the manager must approve it for the change to take effect.
