Why Do Confirmed Gigs Disappear or Become Unavailable on Ideal Flex Work?
Ideal Flex Work uses dynamic scheduling to match you with the best gig opportunities while ensuring client needs are met. Occasionally, a confirmed gig may drop off your schedule — here’s what causes it and how to stay ahead of it. 💡
🔍 Reasons Your Confirmed Gig May Disappear
1️⃣ Another Talent Filled the Gig
Ideal’s scheduling system moves quickly. If required steps aren’t completed on time — such as confirming your gig or updating mandatory certifications or forms — another Talent may be assigned to the shift.
👉 Tip: Keep your profile updated and complete all required steps promptly to hold your spot.
2️⃣ Client Changes the Staffing Needs
Sometimes clients adjust their staffing requirements, such as:
Reducing the number of workers
Canceling a shift
Changing qualifications needed
When this happens, your confirmed gig may be removed from the schedule. You’ll typically receive a notification if a client-driven change affects your shift.
3️⃣ Outdated Certifications or Required Documentation
If any required documentation expires or becomes incomplete — such as tax forms, onboarding requirements, or role-specific certifications — you may no longer be eligible to work the gig.
👉 Make it a habit to regularly check your profile and keep everything current to avoid unexpected removals.
📅 How Confirmations Work on Ideal Flex Work
After accepting a gig, you will be required to confirm it again closer to the date. This step:
Ensures you’re still available
