How to Request an Available Shift

Your manager will send out available shifts through MakeShift to see which employees are available or interested in working this shift. You can view and request an available shift from my.makeshift.ca. 

Available shifts will appear as a red box on your schedule. You will be able to see this shift as long as you do not have a scheduled shift that overlaps with the time of the available shift. Click on the red available shift that you would like to view.
