You can confirm and acknowledge shifts as an indication you can either work your shift(s), or that you've seen a change to your shift(s).

To Confirm

When you Confirm a shift, it's your way of telling your supervisor that you can work it. Any shifts that require confirmation will be in the To Confirm section of your Action needed tab.

In your Team Xpress app, head to Schedule > Action needed > To Confirm.

Note: If you're NOT required to Confirm shifts, then this option will NOT be available for you.

Changes (Acknowledging shifts)

When you Acknowledge a shift, it's your way of telling your supervisor that you are aware that the shift has been added or changed. Any shifts that require acknowledgement will be in the Changes section of your Action needed tab.

In your Team Xpress app, head to Schedule > Action needed > Changes.

Note: If you're NOT required to Acknowledge shifts, then this option will NOT be available for you.

Forgetting to Confirm or Acknowledge shifts

In most cases, if you forget to Confirm or Acknowledge your shifts, it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll lose the shift. It's often used as additional clarification that you can work it or have accepted the change. Your supervisor will be notified if you do Confirm and Acknowledge, and will also be notified if you don't.

If you're unsure on what confirming and acknowledging shifts means to you, then we'd recommend you speak to your supervisor.
