Drop shift deadline

You will find you Drop deadline in the Status section of your shift. The Drop deadline is the last time you can officially drop the shift from within your Team Xpress app.

If you still need to drop the shift and the deadline has passed, you'll need to contact your supervisor.

Shift drop - Approved or Declined?

Whether your Drop Shift request is Approved or Declined is based on your company's setup. The Drop Shift request will either be:

  • Approved automatically by the system.

  • Remain in Requested status until your supervisor decides to Approve or Decline it.

For more information on your company's Shift drop setup, please contact your supervisor.


Shift drop status

To find out the latest status of your Drop Shift request, you can head to your Schedule in Team Xpress, and if the shift is still there, it will be marked as Drop requested.

If Approved or Declined, you'll be notified via email. As additional confirmation that your Drop request was Approved, you'll see that the shift has subsequently been removed in the Changes section of your Action needed.

Note: You will only see the Changes section if your company has permitted you to receive Schedule change acknowledgments. If not, then Changes will not be available.
