ShiftMed Attendance Policy & Expectations
Clocking in and out:
You are required to clock in and out for every shift using the ShiftMed app.
Click here for instructions on using the kiosk to clock in and out at Autumn Lake facilities.
Missed Punches:
If you are unable to use the app, you must promptly request a missed punch form from the Care Team to correct your time.
Cancelling a Shift:
If you need to cancel a shift, you must report it in the ShiftMed app.
Attendance Expectations:
While ShiftMed operates as an “on-demand” or “PRN” platform and may categorize attendance events - such as call-outs, cancellations, and unscheduled shifts - using a weighted system (see more details here), our hospital partners maintain high attendance expectations and may consider any change to a claimed shift to be an attendance violation.
Failure to adhere to these procedures, or patterns of excessive lateness or cancellations, may impact your future shift opportunities at all Autumn Lake Healthcare facilities.
