  2. Review the company name, contact details, and billing address.
  3. Update anything that's wrong and click Save changes.

Step 3: Request your first shift

When you need cover at your site, submit a shift request. Your agency will handle matching and confirmation.

  1. Go to Shifts and click Request shift.
  2. Select the position, date, start time, duration, and number of workers.
  3. Add any site-specific notes for the worker (entrance, who to report to, dress code).
  4. Click Submit request.

Tip

Watch the shift status update from Requested to Being filled to Fully filled in real time — no need to call your agency to check.

Step 4: Approve your first timesheet

After the shift is completed, the worker submits a timesheet. If your account has client approval enabled, you'll need to review and approve it.

  1. Go to Timesheets in the sidebar.
  2. Open the pending timesheet.
  3. Check the hours and click Approve.
