If, for any reason you cannot “clock in” and “clock out” using the mobile application at the beginning and end of a shift, Syft will allow a grace period of up to four hours after the scheduled end time of your Shift. If you fail to provide this information by the conclusion of this grace period, Syft reserves the right to suspend your use of the Services.
In the event that you disagree with a timesheet, please Contact Us at help@syftapp.com within 48 hours of receiving your pay-slip to lodge a dispute with Syft and to state what you consider to be the correct times. Syft will consult with the Client in an attempt to resolve the dispute and will confirm the outcome to you in writing.
Failure to comply with the time recording procedure at clause 14.1 may result in a delay in making payment of the Remuneration and Holiday Pay to you as we investigate (in a timely fashion) the hours, if any, worked by you. Syft will not pay you for hours not worked.
The number of hours which you are required to work will be as set out in the Assignment. You are not obliged to work any hours in excess of those set out in the Assignment (“Overtime”), but may agree with the Client to do so. You will receive the Remuneration (plus Holiday Pay, if any) for any Overtime. If you incur any extra travel expenses as a result of working Overtime you may claim these from the Client via Syft. Claims for such expenses must be made within 24 hours of completing the Shift in respect of which they were incurred. Expenses will only be reimbursed where they are reasonably incurred and evidenced by receipts.
If you accept an Engagement which you are subsequently unable to attend, you must notify Syft immediately by cancelling the Engagement via the Service. If you cancel a Shift or an Engagement less than 24 hours (but more than 30 minutes) before that Shift or Engagement is due to start you will receive a “strike”. If you receive three strikes, Syft reserves the right to suspend your use of the Services and to require you to attend another induction session at the Syft offices to regain access to the Services.
Syft understands that sometimes plans change and that you may need to cancel a shift within 24 hours. You may work off your first or second strikes by completing 10 shifts without obtaining any further strikes. If you gain three active strikes Syft reserves the right to suspend your use of the Services and to require you to attend another induction session at the Syft offices to regain access to the Services.
If a Shift or Engagement is cancelled by the Client, Syft will take reasonable steps to give you as much notice as possible. If a Shift or Engagement is cancelled by the Client less than 24 hours before that Shift or Engagement is due to start, you may be paid compensation of up to 4 hours’ Remuneration. The payment of compensation will be determined by Syft acting in its sole discretion.
If you fail to attend your booking without notifying Syft, Syft reserves the right to terminate this contract and prevent you from using the Services. If you cancel the Engagement via the Service less than 30 minutes before that Shift or Engagement is due to start, Syft reserves the right to terminate this contract and prevent you from using the Services.

Once you arrive report to a manager/supervisor so you can clock in and generate a timesheet. If you are going to be late for a Shift, please Contact Us on Live Chat so that we can notify the Client.
