What are the Poached Shift Policies for Workers?

Here is a quick review of some Poached Shift Policies:

 

  • Shift Cancellation - If you need to cancel your Shift, you must do so at least 12 hours before it is scheduled to start. You can cancel your shift through the Poached app.

    Please keep in mind that if you have an emergency and need to cancel within 12 hours of the shift start time, reach out to Poached Support and your employer. It's important to provide proof of the emergency, such as a positive covid test, police report, insurance report, or doctor's note. Failure to provide proof may result in a 30-day suspension from Poached Shifts. Additionally, if you have multiple cancellations, it could lead to a permanent suspension from Poached Shifts.

  • No Call No Show - If you fail to cancel your Shift through the app or provide any notice to your employer or Poached Support, resulting in a No Call No Show, you will face a permanent suspension from using Poached Shifts.
