Post and Select a “Drop” Shift

Trade/Drop Shift and Drop Shift

• “Trade/Drop” method is used when you want someone to work one of your shifts. You will resume working that shift in the future. This is the most popular method of finding a substitute with our current students, and is the information covered in this presentation.

• To permanently DROP a shift you must see a supervisor. This method is used when you can longer work your scheduled shift. We ask that you work for 2 weeks once speaking with a supervisor and then we will relinquish you form your shift.

The following tutorial will guide you through the process of

POSTING and SELECTINGTrade/Drop shifts

Drop shifts

You will need to LOGIN to your WHENTOWORK.COM Account

Your HOMEPAGE will appear.

Click TRADES in the top tool bar.

Click both the TRADE and DROP boxes of the shift that you will need a substitute. (If you have multiple shifts that appear please click only the shift you are wanting to trade/drop.)

If you post a trade/drop you are NOT excused from your scheduled shift until someone selects your shift.When someone selects your trade/drop, you will receive a confirmation from whentowork.com in your email account.

For example if you are scheduled to work a Monday Breakfast Beverage shift. You have to schedule a doctors appointment and this is the only time the doctor can get you in. You will need a “one time only

substitute”. You do this by clicking on both boxes behind your scheduled shift. Click POST. You will resume the shift the next week.

select your shift. The purple box indicates to everyone that this is a “one time substitution”.

To pick up this shift for a “One time substitution” you will click on the purple box.

Once you click the purple box a pop window will appear. You will then click on “Pick Up this Shift” This shift is your shift for just this one time.

DROP SHIFTYou are allowed to post DROP shift if you are

granted permission from a Marketplace Supervisor. Only then you will be instructed

to do the following process.

You will be instructed by the Marketplace Supervisor to do the following. Click the DROP box only. We ask in this event that give us 2 weeks to find permanent

replacement. We ask that you report to work for the next 2 weeks. Once the 2 weeks have passed we will relinquish from that shift.

It will appear on the schedule as a blue box(indicates it will be a permanent shift selection). This allows everyone to see that you are permanently wanting to drop the

shift. If someone is willing to permanently “Pick up” your dropped shift they will repeat the same process as the trade/drop.
