Before you apply for a shift, you need to become familiar with the different shift types.

After learning what each shift type is, you are ready to start applying to shifts! The steps to apply to a shift are as follows:

Step 1: You can view available shifts using the Map view or List view on the Upshift app. Please make sure the location setting is turned on for the Upshift app. This will allow the List View only to display shifts that are within 100 miles of your current location. If you would like to see shifts outside of that 100-mile radius, you can use the map view by zooming in or out on the city you would like to work in.

Step 2: Once you click on a shift, you will be able to view the shift details. This includes the location of the shift, the date of the shift, the start and end time, pay, shift description, and what to wear sections. Please make sure to read through this information thoroughly before applying for shifts. If you are unable to meet the requirements for the shift, the business may send you home, and you may receive disciplinary action.

Step 3: Once you click the apply button, you will be prompted to confirm that you have the required clothing and/or items for the shift. If you do, you can click the OK button to submit your application.

Step 4: Once your application has been submitted, you will receive a notification that you successfully applied to the shift:

You need to be accepted and confirm the shift before you are set to work it.
