Students
We built Shiftly so students like you can find flexible work opportunities
that fit your schedule, help you make a quick buck, and find out about
new businesss. These guidelines are here to make sure every shift runs
smoothly and everyone is treated with fairness and respect.
ALWAYS BE RESPECTFUL
You're stepping into someone else's business, so be polite, professional,
and kind. Greet staff, ask questions when needed, and respect the pace of the business.
SHOW UP, SHOW EFFORT
Your time matters, and so does theirs. Be on time, stay focused, and do
your best while on shift. Every shift is a chance to build your reputation
in the app.
COMMUNICATE CLEARLY
Running late or can't make it? Let us and the business know as soon as
possible. Ghosting hurts everyone. We understand life happens, but
keeping others informed is key.
BE OPEN TO FEEDBACK
Learning happens on the job. If a business shares feedback, take it
seriously and see it as an opportunity to change and grow. You can rate
them too and we encourage honest, fair reviews.
DO NOT:
-
No-show or leave mid-shift without notice
-
Use your phone for non-urgent reasons during shifts
-
Be rude, disruptive, or disrespectful to staff or customers
-
Share someone else's contact info, shift details, or payment data
-
Leave unfair or false ratings and reviews
​
Remember: You're representing Shiftly, your school, and yourself.
Respect the opportunity, and great things will follow.
Businesses
Shiftly exists to help you find reliable on demand student support. We
ask that all business partners treat student workers with the same
respect and clarity you'd expect in return.
BE CLEAR AND FAIR
Before each shift, make sure your expectations are clearly
communicated through the training video and direct mail feature. What
tasks are involved? Who should the student report to? A little clarity
goes a long way.
CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT
Every Shiftly student deserves to work in a safe, respectful setting. Any
form of harassment, discrimination, or unsafe behavior will not be
tolerated.
GIVE HELPFUL FEEDBACK
After each shift, rate students fairly. Constructive feedback helps them
improve and helps Shiftly grow stronger. And don't forget that you will
be rated too.
DO NOT:
-
Overload students with tasks beyond the posted role
-
Ask for unpaid or extended work
-
Harass, intimidate, or speak inappropriately to student workers
-
Leave unfair or false ratings and reviews
Remember: The best results come from mutual respect. When
students feel supported, they perform better–and are more likely to
return.
