Define the handoff boundary

Accept a Shift Coverage Change Without Silent Overtime starts with offshore shift coverage changes as a bounded operating outcome, not a disposition label. For define the handoff boundary, the record must preserve shift ID, affected queues, replacement agent, hours impact, rest check, and supervisor approval. The offshore team can collect facts, prepare the next step, and verify the destination; the the workforce manager retains consequential decisions about customer remedies, policy, access, and release. This checkpoint uses identifier CCO22-B-shift-coverage-change-acceptance-1 so a later reviewer can connect the event, exception, and acceptance.

Exercise an ordinary case plus the adverse condition where the swap fills coverage but creates an unapproved seventh consecutive workday. Keep both versions, state what remains unknown, and pause only the dependent action. Do not rewrite the first observation or choose the state that closes the queue fastest. Route a compact packet with the case ID, verified facts, source links, current destination, deadline, customer impact, permitted options, and the exact question.

Close only when the destination record agrees with the approved instruction and an owner accepts any residual risk. Record the reviewer, time, source version, and remaining dependency. Sample ordinary, exception, reopened, and still-open cases; report counts with denominators and declared periods. These measures describe the process. They do not rank agents or prove that a customer outcome was caused by one interaction.
