Find and accept new shifts

Mapal One allows workers to find and accept new shifts so that they can pick up additional work when available.

Start from: The Mapal One dashboard. 

How shift proposals work for employees

When a manager needs extra cover at short notice, they create a shift proposal in Workforce. Eligible employees then see this proposal in Mapal One under Shift Finder and, if enabled, receive a push notification.

Each open shift can only be taken by one person, so once a colleague accepts and the shift is assigned, it is removed from the pending list for everyone else.

Find and accept a new shift

• Navigate to Shifts & Absences > Shift Finder. 

• On the Next Up block on the right-hand side of the screen, select the Shift Finder tab. 

• The Shift Finder section provides a streamlined way for employees to explore and respond to available shifts. Managers can also monitor the status of shift proposals in real time. Key features include:
  • Pending Proposals: Displays a list of shifts that employees can accept or decline. Each proposal includes details such as the shift time, location, and assigned role. Employees can quickly review the information and make a decision. 
  • Previous Proposals: Offers a historical record of past shift proposals, including those that were accepted, declined, or left unanswered. This helps employees and managers track proposal history for future reference. 

• Select a shift proposal from the Pending list.  

• Select Accept to add the shift to your calendar.
