How do I apply for an available shift? | Sling Help Center (2024)

If your company allows shift exchanges, you may have a chance to pick up extra hours. Available shifts can be posted by your management or a coworker may make a shift available if they can't or don't want to work it.

From the website:

There are a few places where you can apply for an available shift.

When you first log into your account, you should land on the Dashboard. Any available shift notifications that are still active will be listed there along with the option to apply.
