Double Shifts
This feature is unavailable in California due to the state's daily overtime laws.
Maximize your earning potential efficiently. Our in-app Double Shift feature automatically identifies and suggests a consecutive shift at the same facility after you claim your first one, often with a 30-minute overlap.
Example: Claiming a 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM shift may trigger a suggestion for a 2:30 PM - 11:00 PM shift at the same location.
Availability
This feature only applies to shifts at the same facility. You may accept both or just your original shift. If a double shift is not suggested, it is because:
No qualifying second shift is available at the facility.
You have reached the maximum allowable weekly hours.
Clock-In/Out Procedure
Clock in and out for each shift independently within the ShiftMed app.
A nursing supervisor's signature is required at clock-out to validate your hours.
This signature is mandatory to be eligible for Next Day Pay® or ShiftMed Instant Pay™
Payroll Eligibility
Only one pay request (Next Day Pay or Instant Pay) is permitted per calendar day.
For optimal earnings, submit your request after clocking out of your second shift.
Shifts that end on a Saturday (e.g., Friday overnight) are not eligible for these services.
