As far as I know, if person A and B agreed to to switch shifts, it's ok. The regulations only say that you both have to agree and acknowledge it. How you come to those two things are entirely up to you.

Just like if I played poker against a coworker and the loser has to take up the winner's shifts. Just let the schedule maker know that hey, person B said I can take some of his shifts, and he will back me up on it.

Well, this person was told not to ask for any schedule changes since she didn't put her request in until after she did the schedule.

If a co-worker says, "I'll give you this if you trade shifts with me" it's simply a trade. If management offers you something to keep quiet about something or as payment for something considered unethical, then it's a bribe.

well then that person needs to be working her time or call out. you can get in trouble for switching shifts, depends on management.

I have a guy who bribes people to finish his shifts when he wants to go out and party. I've not yet brought it onto management's radar.

It's not grounds for punishment, because the person is doing nothing wrong. All they're saying is "I'll give you this, if you take my shift". Now, threatening someone, on the other hand, would be different, and would be grounds for punishment.

That person isn't asking for a schedule change from the schedule writer, she is just trying to get someone to work her shift. Get the food first.

Actually, she was. Management denied it because it was too late to request time off. I was told not to take the shift by management because of that.

I just found it odd that someone would do that though. Was my favorite kind of food too, but lol.

Sounds they were trying to 'punish' her or make a point, and didn't want you to 'save' her. So to speak.

It's really not their business, if she found someone (you) who would work the shift, that's your choice. They can teach her a 'lesson' another day. Maybe you need the cash, it's your choice.
