The Work App allows you to manage shift changes and additional shifts by choosing to consent or decline with confidence and ease. Your decision may depend on the conditions associated with the shift, such as the hours, location, pay rate, or whether the shift aligns with your availability. Consenting to a shift ensures that it is added to your schedule under the agreed terms, while declining allows you to maintain your current pattern of work without accepting the new conditions.
Follow the steps below to understand and respond to shift offers or bids, if your employer had added some conditions for you to review prior to bidding for a shift or accepting an offered shift.
Review these articles for more details on shift offers and bids in the Work app.
