Shift, Schedule, Cancel Shift, Decline Shift

Updated over 11 months ago

There are 3 states of a shift in which it can be canceled. Those states are, as mentioned earlier, “Requested”, “Confirmed” and “Awaiting Confirmation”. We can also call them “Tags”.

1. Requested: It is a state when you have applied for an open shift, and you are waiting for approval from your employer.

To cancel, tap on the shift you applied for from the “Available Shifts” tab on the home screen and tap on “Cancel”. A popup will appear at the bottom. Select a reason for the cancellation and tap on “Submit”.

2. Confirmed: It can be either an open shift or an assigned shift.

To cancel a confirmed shift, simply go to “My Schedule”, open the confirmed shift you wish to cancel, and tap on “Cancel”. A popup will appear at the bottom. Select the reason and tap on “Submit”.


3. Awaiting Confirmation: These are assigned shifts. To cancel, go to “Available Shifts” tab on the home screen. Open your desired shift and click on “Decline”. A popup will appear at the bottom. Select a reason and tap on “Submit”.
