How to Bid on an Open Shift

Updated

When an Open Shift is published, multiple Employees can request to pick it up by bidding on the shift. The Manager then decides who to assign the shift to.

In this article, you'll learn how the bidding process for open shifts works in 7shifts.

⚠️ To allow Employees to bid on Open Shifts, an Admin must enable Shift Pool within the Account's Company Settings.

Shift Pool Bidding on Open Shifts

  1. When an Open Shift is published, it becomes available on the Schedule page.

  2. Employees can go to the Shift Pool and bid on the Open Shifts they wish to take:

  3. Managers will be notified when an Employee bids on the Open Shift and they can choose who they'd like to assign the shift to:

  4. The Employee whose bid is approved will be notified as soon as the shift is assigned to them.

    ⚠️ For an Employee to be notified about their shift bid, a Manager must either approve or deny their request for that shift.

    Once the Open Shift has been assigned to an Employee, all other Employees who have made a bid will not be directly notified. However, the shift will no longer appear for them in the Shift Pool.
