Use the tabs to change your viewing preferences through the mobile or web app:

Tap on the calendar icon in the menu at the bottom of your screen to head to the Schedule page.
Tap on the shift you want to give away:
Tap Find Cover:
Select Offer Up:
From here, you can:
- Choose whether to offer up the full shift or partial (if your Admin has enabled partial shifts)
- Insert any comments you wish your coworkers to see
- Choose whether to offer the shift to everyone who shares the role, or to specific people
When you're ready, tap Offer Up.
Your shift will be added to the Shift Pool and your coworkers will receive a notification that there is a shift available to bid on.

⚠️ Remember the shift is yours until another Employee bids on it and you receive a notification that your Manager approved someone else to take the shift.

We'll send you a notification once your shift has been taken:
