How to Pick Up Extra Shifts

Looking for extra shifts? The 7shifts Shift Pool lets you view and bid on available shifts that other employees have dropped or requested to trade.

Important: 

• Depending on your account settings, multiple employees may bid on the same shift. Your manager will then approve the assignment. You'll receive an SMS/push and email notification if you get the shift.
• If you don't receive a notification or the shift disappears from the Shift Pool, it has likely been assigned to someone else or is no longer available.
