How to Schedule your 1st Day Training Shift

To be able to select your 1st-day training shift you must fill out all your documentation, ID verification, and complete a background check. If you're not sure that you've completed these tasks, please send us a chat message.

First Log in to the MyWorkChoice app and select "My Shifts." at the bottom of the screen.

After selecting "My Shifts" the first screen you'll see is called "Available Shifts" where you'll see all shifts upcoming shifts.


โ€‹Please note: You will only be able to view 1st-day training shifts until you've completed your training.

Scroll through all available 1st-day training shifts, and select the shift that works for your schedule - you will only need to schedule ONE training shift.

Once you select "schedule shifts" confirm by selecting "Pick Up Shift."

Next, you'll need to confirm you meet the requirements to work this shift. If so, click the check box and click "Confirm."

Final 1st Day Confirmation Text

IMPORTANT: One day before your first day we will send you a text message around 9 a.m. to confirm you're able to make the training shift. If you do not respond by 12 p.m. that day we will automatically drop the shift and you'll have to re-schedule another 1st-day training shift in the app.


How to Schedule Multiple Shifts (3+ Star Rated Workers)

Anyone with a 3+ Star Rating will be able to schedule multiple shifts for the week at one time. If your star rating is below 3, you can still schedule multiple shifts with a few more clicks. There are also plenty of ways to boost your Star Rating, so you can have access to this feature.

Log in to the app and go to available shifts under the "My Shifts" screen and select the "Schedule Shifts" green button.

Scroll through all the available shifts that week and select only the shifts you know you're able to work. Note - when you select a shift it will automatically grey out other shifts that are during that same time. Once the shifts are selected you'll see the total hours above the "Schedule Shifts" green button.

Next, you'll review a schedule summary where you can double-check all the shifts you selected for the week. This gives you the opportunity to go back and make any adjustments using the blue and white arrow icon. Once you review tap the "Schedule Shifts" green button. *Please note that you're not able to schedule more than 40 hours in a week.

Finally, you'll make a final review and confirm. This is when you've officially scheduled your shifts!

How to Drop a Shift

We understand life happens and that sometimes you can't work a shift. The perk of working for MyWorkChoice is that we don't have an attendance policy - YOU choose when you work.

However, when you can't make your shift please drop it as soon as possible. Dropping your shift notifies your Community Director and will give other workers the opportunity to pick up the shift.

Please note: Dropping a shift 6 hours before your shift start time will decrease your star rating and may affect your access to select future shifts. We encourage you to review all the details about our Star Rating and how it works.

Instructions on How to Drop Your Shift

First, log in to the app and click on "My Shifts" and select "Upcoming."

Select the shift you need to drop, then select "Drop Shift."

Next, confirm this is the shift you'd like to drop. If so, select "drop."

After you select "Drop" you will be brought to this screen that will tell you if your star rating will be impacted.

After, selecting "drop" on the previous screen you'll see this confirmation message that your shift was dropped and to schedule your next shift(s).

You'll be taken back to "Upcoming" shifts, where you'll be able to see the dropped shift.
