✨Overview
When you accept a gig in the Ideal Flex Work app, you’re making a commitment to the client and to the platform. Understanding what that commitment includes helps protect your reliability, prevent attendance issues, and keep great opportunities coming your way.
This article explains what accepting a gig means, including confirmation requirements, full-shift expectations, overlapping rules, and multi-day gig commitments.
✅ Confirming a Gig
Accepting a gig isn’t final until it’s confirmed in the app. Confirmation tells the client and Ideal Flex Work that you’re fully committed to working the shift.
If you don’t confirm or miss a reconfirmation request:
You’re automatically removed from the gig
There is no penalty
The shift is offered to another worker
Repeated failures to confirm may affect your reliability and future opportunities. Only accept gigs you’re confident you can work.
🕘 Working the Full Scheduled Shift
When you confirm a gig, you agree to work the entire shift exactly as listed in the app.
This means:
Shift start and end times are set by the client
You’re expected to work all scheduled hours
Leaving early for another job or personal plans isn’t allowed
Partial shifts are not permitted, even if you believe coverage is available.
🚫 Overlapping Shifts Are Not Allowed
You may not accept two gigs that overlap in time — even briefly.
This includes:
Back-to-back shifts with overlapping minutes
Gigs at different locations with conflicting schedules
Always check start and end times carefully before accepting a gig.
🧩 Multi-Day Gig Commitments
Multi-day gigs require availability across all required days.
If our team contacts you to confirm availability, be honest about which days you can work
If you receive a multi-day invite without outreach:
Accept only if you can work every required day
For longer gigs, you may accept and then notify Talent Support if certain days won’t work
Any day you cannot work must be canceled in the app to avoid attendance issues.
⏱️ Short-Notice Gig Invites
Some gigs are posted last-minute due to other workers canceling.
Before accepting:
Review the start time carefully
You may message Talent Support to confirm expectations
After accepting:
Use team chat to share your estimated arrival time
Keep all communication documented in the app
Clear communication helps protect your standing if timing becomes an issue.
