HotSchedules is the system we use for schedule posting, availability communication, time off requests, shift swaps and releases, and inter-staff messaging. All scheduling and shift changes that are submitted in HotSchedules are sent to a manager for approval. Please make sure changes are not only submitted, but also APPROVED before proceeding with schedule changes.
