Pick up open shifts

Pick up open shifts

Open shifts are created by your manager instead of being directly assigned to you. These shifts are made available for you to pick up when you’re willing and able to work.

Before you start 

  1. You will receive notifications about open shifts only if you are a part of the schedule and position for which the shift is created.
  2. To stay informed, enable the Open shifts available notification under My Profile. This would trigger an email and push notification every time an open shift is published.
