Why am I getting an error message saying "declined" when trying to accept a shift?

If you are receiving an error message saying "declined" when trying to accept a shift, it could be due to a few different reasons. One possibility is that allocations are broadcasting the shift, and you may be accepting at the same time as another worker, which can cause a conflict and result in the shift being declined.

Another reason why you might not be able to accept the shift is if the allocator has already selected someone for that particular shift within their allocations system, which could block you from being able to accept it.
