Seeing your schedule
The Access Services Manager will push your schedule of assigned shifts to the Shyft Calendar. (The Shyft app does not connect with Google Calendar, iCal, or any other calendar app.)
Applying to cover Shifts in the Marketplace
On the Marketplace tab, you will see Team Shifts that are shifts posted by other library workers who are looking for someone to cover for them.
To apply for a team shift, tap the shift card and then tap "Apply to Cover." You'll see a pop-up with more information about the change.
Once you apply, a notification will be sent to the Access Services Manager, who will then approve or deny your request for the Shift. Once you are approved, Shyft will automatically move the sub shift to your calendar and add it to your schedule. If you receive a notification that your coverage application was denied, it's likely due to one of the following reasons: the shift is being downstaffed and no longer needs coverage, or multiple applicants applied, and someone else submitted a request sooner.
Requesting a Sub
To request a sub, go to your schedule directly or use the + icon at the bottom of the screen. From the menu, select the " Get My Shift Covered option to bring up the shift posting. Tap Select Shift.
Partial Shyft Coverage
You can create partial shift coverage by entering the information manually. Use the + icon at the bottom of the screen, select Open Shift, enter the start and end time, Job Title (Sibley Circulation Assistant), times needed, and add a note stating you are only giving up a partial shift.
