Drop a shift

Drop a shift


Drop your shifts in Zoho Shifts when you’re unavailable to work, allowing eligible employees to pick them up by making your shift an open shift.

Before you start

  • Your administrator must allow dropping shifts in your organization.
  • Depending on the organization’s settings, drop requests may require approval from your manager.
  • You will remain responsible for your assigned shift until your drop request is approved.
  • You can enable Shift swap/offer/drop requests notification under my profile.
