Create your worker profile now so employers can review your experience, interview you, and potentially add you to their backup worker pool before they need additional workers.

Backup worker basics

What Is a Backup Worker?

A backup worker is someone an employer can contact when its regular workforce cannot cover a shift or when additional staff are required.

Instead of starting a worker search after a staffing problem occurs, an employer can build a pool of interviewed workers ahead of time.

ShiftAccept helps employers build that pool and offer available shifts to suitable workers.

You remain in control of whether you accept an offered shift.

Flexible Opportunities

Consider available shifts that fit your schedule.

Work With Different Employers

Build relationships with more than one employer where each employer relationship permits it.

You Choose

Receiving a shift does not mean you are required to accept it.

Build Employer Relationships

Show employers your reliability and work quality.

More Work May Follow

A successful backup working relationship may lead to additional shifts or potentially regular employment.

Prepare Early

Create your profile before an urgent staffing need occurs.

Multiple employers

One Profile. More Employer Connections.

Backup workers may build relationships with multiple employers through ShiftAccept rather than relying on a single source of occasional work.

Each employer manages its own worker pool and decides which workers it interviews and approves.

Longer-term potential

A Backup Shift Can Start a Longer Working Relationship

Backup work gives employers an opportunity to see your reliability and experience in practice. Strong working relationships may lead to additional shifts or future regular employment opportunities.

Employment decisions remain with each employer and are not guaranteed by ShiftAccept.
