  • generating a schedule comprising a plurality of shifts;

    in the computer system;

    receiving a partial shift swap request from an agent;

    determining a disposition of the partial shift swap request by applying a set of criteria associated with a hard validation rule to the partial shift swap request;

    if the partial shift swap request is denied based on the hard validation rule, denying the partial shift swap request;

    if the partial shift swap request is not denied based on the hard validation rule, applying a set of criteria associated with a soft validation rule to the partial shift swap request;

    if the partial shift swap request is not approved based on the soft validation rule, providing the partial shift swap request for review; and

    if the disposition indicates the partial shift swap request is approved, updating the schedule to reflect the partial shift swap request.
