⏳ Why Does Your Shift Say “Waiting for Approval”?

If you’ve applied for a shift and it still says “Waiting for Approval” in orange, this means the employer has not yet accepted or confirmed your application.

You might be wondering why — here are some common reasons:

  • The shift is already filled, but the employer hasn’t sent a rejection letter to applicants.

  • The employer doesn’t need anyone after all, or has the shift as a backup.

  • The employer is still reviewing other applicants.


⏰ Employer Response Window

  • Hiring managers have 2 hours to respond to your application.

  • If they approve your application after this window, the invitation goes back to you for re-confirmation. This ensures you are still available and interested in the shift. You have to accept the shift for you to get it.


💼 Apply to Other Shifts

You are free to apply for as many shifts as you like.
Once you’re accepted and hired for a shift, all other applications in the same time frame will be automatically canceled to avoid double bookings.
