This article will go through the step-by-step process of what happens from a manager's point of view when an employee declines a shift. For an employee to be able to decline a shift, you need to give them access first (see here for details).
When the employee clicks Decline, an email will be sent to the manager. For a manager to be notified of a declined shift, they need to have notifications turned on. Alternatively, they can log into the roster to view any unassigned shifts as when an employee declines a shift, it reverts to being unassigned.
The below example is an email received by a manager (who has notifications turned on) after an employee has declined a shift. A manager will be notified via email (below) when an employee declines a shift. They will not be notified via SMS.
Further information
Currently there is no notification from within the platform that an employee has declined a shift. The only indication is that there will be unassigned shifts showing in the roster. The manager would need to check the app each morning or their emails for any declined shifts. And then login to your payroll classic platform to reassign the shift.
