# Switching Staff

On a shared register, **Switch Staff** lets one person hand off to the next without anyone logging out of the account. The PIN is the authorization, so any signed-in staff member can open the switch and pass the till along.

## Switch to a new operator

In the POS side menu, choose **Switch Staff**. The operator roster appears.

Select the staff member who is taking over.

The new operator enters their PIN. They become the active operator on this terminal.

Switching opens a session for the new operator and automatically closes the previous operator's session on that terminal. Orders created from then on are attributed to the active operator's session.

## Hand over a shift

When you finish a shift, you can hand it over from **Active Sessions**.

Find your active session in the Active Sessions list.

Choose to hand over. Add an optional note and declare your cash. This closes your session.

Managers can view Active Sessions and force-close a session if needed -- for example, if a cashier left without handing over.

On a shared register, reloading the app returns it to the account owner. This is expected. The next operator simply opens **Switch Staff** and signs in again with their PIN.
