RotaCloud

Use Temporary Cover to borrow an employee from another location. Managers need permission to edit their locations and borrow from specified Temporary Cover Locations; an administrator sets these on the manager's employee page.

Open the shift's three-dot menu, choose Assign Temporary Cover and select an employee. Filter by location if needed; the initial list contains people who can work the role. Confirming adds that employee to the rota for the week.

For an open shift, turn on approval required to claim when several people may want it. Approval is optional by default and can be changed per shift. An orange bell marks pending requests; choosing one assigns the shift. Unselected or expired requests do not send an outcome notification.
