Booking an InstaSHYFT
InstaSHYFTs are marked in the app with a purple 'InstaSHYFT' label. InstaSHYFTs are different from regular shifts because you are instantly booked for a shift as soon as you apply, without needing confirmation from a facility manager.
When you see an InstaSHYFT in the app, you can swipe left to book it, or click on it and book the shift that way.
Because you are instantly booked for an InstaSHYFT, you won't be able to withdraw from it, so if you need to cancel your InstaSHYFT it will count as a callout.
While InstaSHYFTs are instantly booked, this does not mean the shift is guaranteed - depending on a facility's need, they can still cancel you.
Applying to a regular shift
Regular shifts are shifts without a purple InstaSHYFT label. When you find a regular shift you'd like to work, there are two ways you can apply:
You can click on the shift to view the SHIFT DETAILS screen and apply by click the green 'APPLY' button at the bottom.
You can swipe left on the shift in the shifts list, which will show you an 'APPLY' button on the right side, which you can click to apply
ESHYFT has a 2-step confirmation process for regular shifts that requires you to apply and for the Facility Manager to confirm you for a shift.
Once you have applied to the shift, the Facility Manager will be notified. It is then up to the Facility Manager to review your information and to either confirm or decline your application.
Once confirmed, you will receive a notification from ESHYFT and see the confirmed shift in Confirmed tab of the SCHEDULE section in your app.
If you are no longer able to work this shift and need to cancel, please read 'How do I cancel a shift?'
