The operating problem

Inputs

Review evidence, not activity alone.

Concrete scenarios
What the boundary looks like in practice.
Coverage swap
The coordinator verifies both parties, checks the rule, and routes the change for approval before publishing.
Unexpected absence
The lane records the absence notice and gives the manager the approved coverage options without selecting one.
Frequently asked questions
Clarify the role before launch.
Can the coordinator approve leave?
No, unless your written policy grants that authority. The usual model keeps approval with a manager.
How are urgent changes handled?
Define the contact order, response window, and fallback owner before urgent requests occur.
Can several time zones be managed?
Yes. Every record should use a named time zone and the published schedule should follow one agreed standard.
