How to take extra shifts

Request shifts directly in your Workfeed app to take on extra hours.

Want to take some extra shifts? You can see available shifts from your home page under 'Available shifts'. This list contains both shifts with no people assigned to them and shifts your colleagues are trying to get rid of.

If you see a shift you want, click on 'Request shift' as shown in the picture. You will only be able to request a shift if you're not already working at the same time as the shift and you have the role of the shift.

Finally, you need to confirm you want to take the shift. Depending on the account settings for your workplace, a shift request might have to be approved by an administrator or a manager/colleague with permission to approve shifts.

FAQ

  1. I want to take a shift, but the request shift button is not there. Why?
    If you want to take a shift but can't, it's most likely because you already have a shift in the same time span, or you don't have the role of the shift assigned to you. Reach out to your administrator/manager in case you need to find a solution for this.

  2. How do I see how much I'm earning for taking a shift?
    You can automatically see what you're getting paid for your shifts when you have been assigned an hourly wage to your profile. If you can't see your wage and want this added, you should speak with your administrator/manager about it. Read more about how you view your hours and pay here.

  3. How do I make my shift available for colleagues to bid on?
    To put your shift up for sale, click the shift from your profile, then click 'Give shift away', followed by clicking 'Put up for sale'.

  4. I don't see the same available shifts as my colleagues. Why is that?
    This is most likely because you have different roles. In the examples in this article, we see two different roles: "Bartender" and "Service". These roles are assigned to the employee, meaning the person is allowed to cover this type of shift. You can only bid on and see available shifts if you have the same role as the shift.

    You should also be aware of the period you are shown in the list of available shifts. Try to expand the date range to see if you have missed any available shifts you should be able to see.
