Clear Staffing Policies You Can Depend On
Review our cancellation guidelines designed to protect clinics, professionals, and scheduling reliability.
Staffing Policies for Clinics and Professionals
For clinics:
1. Notice Period:
- To maintain reliability for our clinics, professionals are expected to provide timely notice when cancelling a confirmed shift. Clinics must provide 24 hours' notice for any confirmed shift cancellation. This allows adequate time to reassign staff.
2. Late Cancellations:
- Cancellations made within less than 24 hours of the scheduled shift may result in a cancellation fee equal to a minimum of 3-4 hours of pay and placement fee.
3. Same-day Cancellations:
- If the clinic cancels on the same day or after the staff has already arrived, they will be charged for 6-8 hrs depending on the length of the shift.
4. Staff Reassignment
- We will attempt to reassign the staff member when possible. If successful, the fee may be reduced or waived.
5. Emergency Exceptions
- Cancellation fees may be waived in genuine emergencies (e.g., severe weather, facility closers), subject to review.
Professional Cancellation Policy
1. Shift Commitment
- Once a shift is accepted, it is considered a firm commitment. Staff are expected to honor all confirmed bookings.
2. Required Notice for Cancellation
- Staff must provide 24-36 hours’ notice if they need to cancel a shift.
3. Late Cancellations
Cancellations made within less than 24-36 hours of the shift may result in
- A warning
- Temporary Suspension from booking shifts
- Reduced priority for future assignments
4. Same-Day cancellation/no-show
If a staff member cancels on the same day or does not show up for a scheduled shift, this may result in:
- Immediate suspension or termination from the agency
- Removal from preferred staff lists
- Loss of future booking opportunities
5. Emergency Exceptions
We understand that unexpected situations happen, and exceptions may be made for genuine emergencies (e.g., illness, family emergencies), but
- Staff must notify us as soon as possible
- Repeated “emergency” cancellations may still be reviewed
