Approving shifts with modified working hours
There are 3 different reasons why a shift is sent to you for approval (points 2 and 3 are only possible if a specific setting is enabled):
When working hours are recorded using the time clock.
If you have enabled the time clock, the recorded hours will be sent to you for approval.
When employees request to change the times of their shifts.
If you have enabled 'Allow employees to edit their working hours' in the scheduling settings, your employees can edit their working hours if they differ from the scheduled hours. If this happens, the shifts will be sent to you for approval.
When employees create a shift themselves.
If you have enabled 'Allow employees to add their own shifts' in the scheduling settings, your employees can create shifts for themselves. If this happens, the shifts will be sent to you for approval.
