For workers
Shift, full-time or part-time?
Know the difference, and choose what fits your time and circumstances.
Not everyone looking for work wants the same thing. Some want to work a day and rest a day; others want a steady place where they can build experience.
This guide explains the three ways Saiiy helps, so you can choose the one that fits your time and circumstances.
Shift work
A shift means work for a set time at a set place: a day, or part of a day. You finish it, and you’re not committed to the next one.
- You know before you apply. The role, the time, the pay and the place are written on the shift.
- You choose. You apply for the shift that fits your time, and the venue reviews and accepts.
- Your record grows. Every shift you complete goes on your record, and venues see it.
How to start, for now: a message to the Saiiy team, and the team walks you through the steps.
A full-time job
An ongoing job at one place, with full working hours through the week. It suits you if you want to work in one place and build experience there.
The Saiiy team no longer puts workers forward for full-time or part-time jobs.
A part-time job
Also an ongoing job, but for fewer hours. It differs from shift work: the same place and agreed hours, instead of choosing from scratch each time.
It suits you if you’re studying, have another job, or need time for other things in your day.
How to start with Saiiy
- For shifts: message the Saiiy team that you want to work shifts, and the team will tell you the steps.
- For full-time or part-time: the Saiiy team no longer puts workers forward. If you have a question, message the Saiiy team the kind of work you’re looking for, and the team will reply.
Good to know: there are no jobs posted and no job applications on the website for now. A message to the team is not a job application, and not a guarantee of a job.

Summary
Before you decide, ask yourself:
- Do I want to choose my hours each time, or have fixed hours?
- Do I want to work in different places, or in one place?
- How many days a week am I free?
- What kind of work do I have experience in, or want to learn?
