You may find that you need your Staf to stay longer than expected. This is why we created the Extend Time feature.

What is the Extend Time feature?

The Extend Time feature allows you to request to add time to the position you have created on ShortStaf.

For example, let's say you need your bartender to stay an extra hour-

Using your Home Dashboard, you can request to add that extra hour right on the app.

How do I Extend Time for a position?

From your Home Dashboard, you can tap on your event that is currently in session. Here, you will find a button that says "Extend Time".

Tap that button to select your desired time extension and rate of pay. Once this request has been initiated, the Staf will have to accept in order to get paid.

How will my Staf know to accept my request?

Your Staf will receive a notification that their position time has been extended, and then be prompted to accept the request. It would be helpful to have a verbal conversation with your Staf to let them know that the request has been initiated. They might be so busy working your event, they may not see the notification or have a moment to accept. 

We encourage you to communicate with your Staf and let them know that their position time has been extended. This will give them the opportunity to accept and get back to work.
