# Your schedule in the app

The Schedule tab in the Mays app shows your upcoming shifts, lets you confirm them, and opens open shifts, shift offers, time off, availability, your hours and the team schedule.

For: Employees · On: iOS, Android · [Help Center](https://www.mays.app/help) › [Scheduling](https://www.mays.app/help/scheduling) · Last updated October 8, 2026 · Mays Team

Your shifts are in the **Schedule** tab of the Mays app. It lists the shifts coming up, lets you confirm them, and has shortcuts to everything else about your schedule.

The **Schedule** tab appears when your company uses scheduling in Mays. If you don't have one, ask your manager — see also [A tour of the app](https://www.mays.app/help/mobile-apps/mobile-app-tour).

## What's on the Schedule tab

From the top:

- **Clocking in and out** — **Clock in**, breaks and **Clock out**.
- Six shortcuts:

| Card | What it's for |
| --- | --- |
| **Open shifts** | Shifts you can pick up. The red number counts them. See [Open shifts and dropping a shift](https://www.mays.app/help/scheduling/open-shifts). |
| **Shift offers** | Coworkers asking you to take or swap a shift. See [Handing off and swapping shifts](https://www.mays.app/help/scheduling/shift-trades). |
| **Time off** | Ask for days off and see your requests. See [Requesting and approving time off](https://www.mays.app/help/scheduling/time-off-requests). |
| **Availability** | Tell your manager when you can work. See [Setting your availability](https://www.mays.app/help/scheduling/set-your-availability). |
| **My Hours** | Your hours and estimated pay. On Android it's called **My Hours & Pay**. |
| **Team schedule** | Who's working each day this week. |

- **Upcoming shifts** — your shifts, grouped by day.

## Your upcoming shifts

Each shift shows its time, the label your manager gave it (such as *Opener*), any notes, and the paid hours with the break, for example *7.5h · 30m break*. Under it are **Drop shift** and **Hand off** — see the articles linked above.

![Upcoming shifts in the app: two 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM shifts with a Confirm button, then Opener shifts from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM on Mon Oct 5 and Tue Oct 6 marked Confirmed with a green check, and Wed Oct 7 still showing Confirm](https://mays-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/site/help__my-schedule-on-mobile__02-upcoming-shifts.0320ab11ca.png)

- You only see **published** shifts. While your manager is still building the week, you won't see it — you'll get a **Your schedule is ready** notification when it's published.
- A shift disappears from the list once it starts.
- The list covers the next 3 weeks.
- Under the time, the card shows the position and the location, for example *Barista · Boca*. (Older versions of the app show neither — update the Mays app.)

## Confirm your shifts

If your location asks you to confirm shifts, each one has a **Confirm** button.

1. Tap **Confirm**.
2. The shift shows **Confirmed** with a green check.

If your manager changes the time, the position or who's working a confirmed shift, it needs confirming again. You'll get a **Confirm your shift** reminder when a shift you haven't confirmed is less than a day away. Locations that don't use confirmations show no button. See [Shift confirmations](https://www.mays.app/help/scheduling/shift-confirmations).

## See who's working

Tap **Team schedule** to see every published shift at your location, day by day, for the week — names, positions, times and labels. Your own shifts are highlighted with a green **You**; unassigned shifts show as **Open shift**. Nobody's pay or shift notes are shown.

- Use the arrows to move between weeks.
- If you work at more than one location, switch between them at the top.

## Notifications you may get

| Notification | When |
| --- | --- |
| **Your schedule is ready** | A week with your shifts was published. |
| **New shift assigned**, **Shift updated**, **Shift removed** | Your manager changed your shifts and published. |
| **Confirm your shift** | A shift less than a day away isn't confirmed yet. |
| **Shift starting soon** | Your shift is about to start. |

Tapping one opens the **Schedule** tab. You can turn them off under **Profile → Notifications → Schedule** — see [Notifications](https://www.mays.app/help/mobile-apps/push-notifications).

## Good to know

- **Refresh:** on iPhone, pull down on the Schedule tab. On Android, leave the tab and come back.
- **Add your shifts to your phone's calendar** — see [Calendar sync](https://www.mays.app/help/scheduling/calendar-sync).
- **Your company uses 7shifts?** If your location still builds its schedule in 7shifts, keep using 7shifts to see your shifts — the Mays app only shows shifts made in Mays.
- **Managers** also see a **Today at …** card at the top and an **Approvals** row; see [The approvals inbox](https://www.mays.app/help/scheduling/approvals-inbox).
