The Schedule tab shows your confirmed work assignments in a monthly calendar view. You can see your shifts, the hours you have logged for each day, and the total for the month. From Schedule you can also request time off, ask for coverage on a shift you cannot work, and offer to cover an open shift for a coworker.
Only confirmed, published shifts appear on your calendar. Drafts that your manager has not yet published are not visible to you.

​
Viewing your schedule

1

Open Schedule

Select Schedule from the navigation bar. You can also open /calendar directly — it shows the same employee calendar view.
2

Navigate between months

Use the previous and next controls to move between months.
3

Select a day

Select any date on the calendar to open the selected-day panel. It shows your confirmed shifts, related time entries, and the total hours for that day.
4

Add time from the schedule

When the Add time entry action is visible in the selected-day panel, you can submit a time entry directly for that date.
The calendar also shows:
  • Daily hour totals in each day cell
  • Monthly hour total in the month header
  • Approved time off blocks when they have been reviewed and confirmed
  • Schedule, Marketplace, and Requests tabs so your personal shifts, coverage opportunities, and request history stay organized separately

​
Requesting time off

Time off requests are submitted from your Profile > Schedule section.
1

Open Profile

Select My Profile from the navigation, then choose Schedule from the side panel.
2

Select Request

Select Request when the action is visible. If it does not appear, time-off requests may not be enabled for your profile — ask your manager.
3

Fill in the details

Enter the date range, hours, reason, and any other required information.
4

Submit the request

Send the request. It moves to a pending state and goes to your manager for review.
5

Track the status

Check Schedule > Requests or the Dashboard request history to follow the status.
Approved time off appears as a block on your schedule calendar after your manager accepts the request. Your leave balances update at the same time when the request type is counted toward leave.

​
The shift marketplace

The Marketplace tab shows open coverage requests from coworkers — shifts they need help covering. You can offer to take a shift, and your manager reviews the offer before the schedule changes.
Marketplace access is controlled by your organization. If the Marketplace tab is not visible, coverage access may not be enabled for your profile.
1

Open the Marketplace tab

Select Schedule, then choose the Marketplace tab.
2

Review open requests

Each open request shows the shift title, time, location (when available), and any note from the coworker.
3

Offer coverage

Select Offer coverage when you can help. Yrka checks whether the offer is safe — for example, whether it overlaps with your own approved time off or schedule — before sending it for review.
4

Track your offer

Open the Requests tab to see the status of your offer. It stays as Offered until your manager approves or denies it.

​
Requesting coverage for your own shift

If you cannot work an assigned shift, you can request coverage and let eligible coworkers offer to help.
1

Open your shift

Select the date on the calendar, then open your assigned shift in the selected-day panel.
2

Select Request coverage

Choose Request coverage when it is visible. You can select marketplace coverage (open to eligible coworkers) or request a specific person when the option is offered.
3

Add a note

Include a short note with useful context for coworkers and your manager.
4

Send the request

Submit the request. It appears as Open in the Marketplace for eligible coworkers to see.

​
Understanding request statuses

Coverage offers and requests do not change your schedule until a manager reviews and approves them. Do not assume a shift is covered until you see the Approved status.

​
Common issues

If no shifts appear, there may be no confirmed assignments for the selected month. Published draft shifts from your manager have not yet been confirmed. Check back after your manager publishes the schedule.
Coverage access may not be enabled for your profile. Ask your manager if you expect to have marketplace access.
Only a manager can approve coverage changes. You can request coverage, but you cannot approve your own request.
Offline coverage requests for your own shift can queue and sync when you reconnect. Wait for sync before sending a duplicate request. Note that offering coverage for a coworker’s open request is online-only and will not queue.
