Overview

Next Steps

Now that you’ve successfully joined your workplace, it’s time to finish setting up your account.

Set up your profile

Set up your profile to confirm your contact information, add a picture, and set the number of hours you prefer to work each week.

Set your alert preferences

When I Work sends you alerts to make sure you stay informed about what’s going on. For example, you can receive an alert when the schedule is updated or you have an upcoming shift. Set your alert preferences to make sure you’re notified in the right place at the right time.

Set your availability preferences

Set your availability preferences so scheduling managers can see when you prefer to work and when you prefer not to work.

• This feature allows you to set a preference that helps your employer make the schedule. However, your employer can schedule shifts that conflict with your preferences when needed.
• Your employer has the option to disable this feature.

Check your schedule

Now that you’re set up, you can view your personal schedule in When I Work.
