The worker side of the schedule
The schedule goes where the worker goes.
Workers can see what is open, what is upcoming, and what they have completed from their phones. The schedule carries the time, role, location, and shift details with it.

Let staff review and claim shifts from their phones
Keep upcoming and completed work in one place
Human control
Clear limits make the workflow trustworthy.
Teambridge supports directed swaps, not an unrestricted two-way worker trading marketplace.
Claim and release rules depend on the configuration used by each operation.
Managers retain control over approvals and exceptions when the workflow requires review.
