Asking for a shift
Open the job and tap its button. Depending on what the business chose, it is yours at once or after an approval.
What to do
- Open a job from Work (in the list or on the map), or from "Work for you" on Home.
- Read the details: hours, the wage when one is given, how and when the business pays, and what it asks for.
- Tap "I want this shift" at your own business, or "Take this shift" at another business.
- Follow it in Work, under "My requests". Once it is approved, you get a message and the shift joins your shifts.
You take one shift at a time, from its details. The list itself has no take button.
Who approves: the owner decides. Some businesses approve each request, others approve automatically once every check passes (role, hours, age rules, overlaps). A manager approves, or a team member the owner gave that right. An open shift a manager sent to their own team is usually yours at once.
At another business the request waits for the business to approve, unless it approves everything automatically. First you see the wage offered, how and when it pays, and what happens if it cancels late. The wage goes straight from the business to you.
Every request gets an answer. If the business does not answer by the time shown, the request closes and you get a message.
Sent it by mistake? A request that is still waiting can be withdrawn under "My requests".
