Request an open shift at another location

To pick up an open shift at another location:

  1. On the Open shift details page for the shift, tap Request. Your request is sent to the manager at that location for approval.

  2. When the manager approves (or declines) your request, you’ll get notified.

    This example shows a notification and the request for an open shift at the Bellevue location approved by the manager at that location.
