# Shift Agreements: Staff Accept or Decline

After you assign a shift, the employee can mark it as _accepted_. If you allow it, they can also _decline_ it.

The roster shows which shifts have been accepted, so you can see at a glance who has seen their shifts.

_Accepted and declined shifts on the roster_

## Use it your way

- Ask staff to accept every shift you assign, so you know they have seen it.
- Allow declines, and rearrange cover when someone can't work a shift.
- Before a shift is assigned, let staff mark it as one they are willing, or reluctant, to work, with shift interest.
- Choose whether staff can see each other's agreements, or only managers.
- Turn shift agreements off in the workforce settings if you don't need them.
