How to negotiate a shift rate in the app

What is rate negotiation? Some employers let you propose a different rate for a shift. Availability is at the employer’s discretion. If negotiation isn’t enabled, you’ll only see Apply or Book Now.

Find negotiable shifts

  1. Open the Locate a Locum app and log in.

  2. Tap Find Shifts (bottom menu).

  3. At the top, select the Negotiable tab to filter to negotiable shifts.

4. Tap a shift to open Shift details.

Negotiate a rate

  1. On Shift details, tap Negotiate.

  2. Enter your Proposed rate (type or use arrows).

3. (Optional) Add a Reason for negotiation.

4. Tap Negotiate to submit.

After you submit

  • Accepted: you’re automatically booked into the shift.

  • Counter offer received:

    1. Go to My Shifts → select the In Negotiation quick filter.

2. Tap the shift card you want to view to open Shift details.

3. Tap View Negotiation.

4. Choose an action:

  • Accept offer → you’ll be booked automatically.

  • Send counter offer → enter your new rate and submit.

  • Withdraw from Negotiation → decline the offer & remove application.

Final offer note: if the employer marks it as a Final offer, you can only Accept or Withdraw from Negotiation (no counter offer).

Troubleshooting

  • Can’t see “Negotiable” or “Negotiate”? The employer may not allow negotiation for this shift/company. Clear filters or check other shifts.
