What Is When I Work And How Culver’s Uses It
When I Work is a scheduling app that shows shifts, allows requests, and sends alerts. Culver’s uses the app to post schedules, assign shifts, and manage time-off. Managers create the store schedule and publish it in When I Work. Employees receive push notifications and email alerts when managers update the schedule. The app stores location tags, pay codes, and shift notes. Culver’s staff can use the app on Android, iPhone, or the web. The system reduces paper schedules and centralizes time-related tasks for the restaurant team.
How To Log In, Activate Your Account, And Set Up Notifications
Culver’s employees receive an invite email or SMS with a link to activate their When I Work account. The employee follows the link, creates a password, and confirms the email. If the link expires, the manager can resend the invite. For mobile use, the employee downloads the When I Work app from the app store and signs in with the same credentials. To set notifications, the employee opens Settings in the app, enables push alerts, and checks email settings. The employee tests notifications by asking the manager to send a test message or by waiting for a schedule post.
View Your Schedule: Step‑By‑Step In The App And Web
To view the schedule in the app, the employee opens When I Work and taps Schedule. The app shows a week view by default. The employee taps a day to see shift details and notes. For the web, the employee signs in at the When I Work website and clicks Schedule in the left menu. Both views show start time, end time, role, and location tags. The employee can switch to calendar view or list view for a different layout.
Understanding Shift Details, Pay Codes, And Location Tags
Shift entries show start time, end time, and role. Pay codes appear as labels for OT, training, or bonus pay. Location tags show which Culver’s store or station the shift covers. The employee taps a shift to read manager notes about tasks, dress code, or prep. The app flags overtime when a shift goes past scheduled hours. The employee checks pay codes before a shift to know which rate applies.
Request Time Off, Swap Shifts, And Pick Up Open Shifts
To request time off, the employee opens Time Off in the app and selects dates and a reason. The employee submits the request and waits for manager approval. To swap a shift, the employee finds their assigned shift, taps Swap, and selects coworkers who can accept. To pick up open shifts, the employee opens Open Shifts, filters by location and date, and claims a shift. The app shows confirmation once the manager assigns the shift. The employee checks the schedule after approval to confirm assignment.
Approval Process, Manager Responses, And Best Practices For Requests
Managers review requests in the manager view and approve or deny them. The manager can add notes or suggest alternatives. The app sends an alert when the manager acts. Employees should request time off early and include clear reasons. For swaps, employees should confirm coworker consent before sending the swap. For open shifts, the employee should act fast because shifts can fill quickly. Employees should keep availability updated and notify the manager of changes outside the app.
Handling Schedule Changes, Notifications, And Common Troubleshooting
When I Work sends alerts for new shifts, changes, and cancellations. Employees should enable push notifications and check email for fallback notices. If the app does not show the latest schedule, the employee should refresh the schedule view or sign out and sign back in. If an employee cannot sign in, they should reset the password or ask the manager to resend the invite. For missing shifts or pay code errors, the employee should screenshot the issue and contact the manager immediately. If the app still fails, the employee can use the web site as a backup or contact When I Work support.
