Check-in for your event is available 24 hours before your position start time. Just go to your Current Shifts Dashboard and click "Check-In". 

What check-in does for you

You must check-in to receive payment. This is how we at ShortStaf know you are up to date with your event. By checking-in you are all set to show up, work, and help out your host.

You must check-in to receive the full address details. An event's full address will be hidden and only show City,State until check-in is complete. At this time, the full address will automatically appear and can be clicked from the Event Details page to direct to your phone's GPS/Maps app.

What check-in does for your Host

When you do this, you are alerting your Host that you are still available to work and will be there on time and ready. 

What happens if I don't check-in?

Check-in is available 24 hours before the start of your event. If you do not check-in within 6 hours before your event, you will no longer be confirmed to work.

You will lose your position. You will no longer be working the event.

The position and job will then become open to the Reserve Staf and other applicants.

What happens if my position starts within 6 hours of the event? What happens to check-in?

If your position starts within 6 hours of your event (the event is the same day) you will be prompted to check-in immediately. Confirm in your Pending Shifts, then check-in from your Current Shifts. And then you are all set! The process just happens faster with a same day event.

Remember: even if the event is same day, you need to check-in. If you do not check-in- you will not receive payment.

Check-in every time to receive payment!
