IMPORTANT INFO ON THE APA APP:

  • APA APP SIGN-UP APPROVALS ONLY DURING BUSINESS HOURS: While you will be able to download the APP immediately from www.apaapp.org we will be approving APA APP signups manually during APA business hours, which may result in delayed access to the app.

  • APA APP PRIVACY: This tool is to be utilized by active APA members ONLY, who are uniquely identified by individual employee numbers. Members will only be allowed one account per employee number, and will only be able to login with one device at a time.

  • APA APP ISSUES: If you are having trouble with any functions of the APA APP, please use the CONTACT US tile contained inside the APP to contact the APPLICATION DEVELOPER (this does NOT connect you to the APA office, but to our technical administrator.)

BASIC APA APP INFORMATION:

  1. Edit Profile Section:
    Please make sure your profile information is correct, as this information will be compared to the APA database and edited accordingly. You will NOT be able to change the email address in the EDIT PROFILE section as it is a unique identifier. Please contact Gina Romero at the APA office 512-474-6993 if you need to change your email address.

  2. Edit Notifications Section:
    In this section, you can control which notifications you are alerted about from the APA APP.

  3. Instant Alerts:
    These are short messages that we will use to alert our APA members of immediate situations within the department and association.

  4. APA Secondary Employment:
    Secondary employment opportunities will be listed here and the user will be able to sign up for these opportunities through the APA APP.

    Sign Up:
    An alert will go out notifying members that a job listing has been posted, when you click on the assignment, it will have date, time, location, pay rate and a description of the assignment. At the bottom of the listing will be a sign-up button. Once you hit the sign-up button, the job that you signed up for will be highlighted in RED. It is up to the member to keep record of any assignments that you sign up for, no reminders will be sent out. There is a 36-hour max that you can work through the APA a year (Jan. 1st - Dec. 31st). Once you have exceeded those hours, you will need to get approval from the APA staff to work additional assignments if needed. Gina Romero will not be able to sign you up for any shifts; the only way to do this is by using the APA APP.

  5. Courtesy Apartments
    Within this section is a list of apartment complexes with opportunities for "courtesy officer" positions. If you fill one of these positions, please let Gina Romero at the APA office know so that we can take the listing off of the APP.
