Viewing additional calendars is toggle on or toggle off. By clicking on the co-workers calendar (under Other Calendars), you will see their calendar information. Also, there is an option to hide their calendar. If you hid their calendar, you will need to go into Calendar Settings and check the show in list option

Under the Other Calenders, enter the email address of the co-worker. This will open a dialog box where you may request access to their calendar. Once approved by your co-worker, the calendar will appear on the left side of your Calendar Screen.  

These will be re-shared with you automatically. See the Google Apps Calendar Instructions for more information.
