How do I know whether or not I was assigned a shift?
If your request for a particular shift is accepted, you will be notified via e-mail. Shifts will be assigned at least 48 hours before the beginning of the shift. It is your responsibility to check iShift to see if you have been assigned shifts you have requested, and to report to work for those shifts. If you are not assigned a shift, you will not be notified. Once a shift has been assigned, it will be removed from the list of shifts available through iShift. You can also monitor the shifts assigned to you by logging onto the iShift main page and clicking on the “View Assigned Shifts” tab.
