This is how you accept a FreeFlexer who has made a counterproposal
You have published a shift for an hourly rate. A FreeFlexer thinks he's worth more. He has made a counterproposal.
Open the applications. On the left side you can find FreeFlexers who want to work for the hourly rate you selected. On the right are the FreeFlexers who have made a counterproposal. In the FreeFlexer's profile the counter-proposal is shown in purple.
Click on "Read Why". Here the FreeFlexer explains why he/she is worth more.
Do you agree? Then click 'accept'.
If the FreeFlexer has responded to multiple shifts with you, you will see a purple bar next to the shift with the requested hourly rate. Move your mouse over the block to read the reason.
How does this work?
Are you rejecting a FreeFlexer with a proposed hourly rate? Then the FreeFlexer can only apply again for a lower rate than previously proposed one. Have you increased the hourly rate in the meantime? Then the FreeFlexer can react again with a higher hourly rate.
Have you switched on 'automatically accept Flexpool' or 'find the most suitable candidate within 48 hours'? FreeFlexers are not automatically accepted if they negotiate the hourly rate.
Are you cancelling a FreeFlexer who was accepted for a negotiated hourly rate? Then the FreeFlexer will have the opportunity to claim 50% of the total shift duration of the negotiated rate.
If a FreeFlexer has been accepted for the negotiated rate and has arranged for a replacement, the replacement will work for the negotiated rate.
