Having a clear strike system makes it easier to understand the expectations employers and the Catapult team have for our candidates, while also giving you some flexibility in case something comes up.
When do we issue strikes?
Last-minute cancellations
(Cancelling a shift less than 48 hours before it starts)
Cancelling a shift within 2 days of the scheduled start time will result in 1 strike.
Please note: if an employer cancels your shift with less than 24 hours to go you will still be paid for 4 hours and, of course, will not receive any strikes.
No show to a shift
We take not turning up to a shift very seriously. If you don’t show up to a shift you will receive 3 strikes (immediate deactivation of your account).
Other reasons for receiving strikes:
Being late
Arriving late for a shift will result in 1 strike.
Bad feedback from employers (and getting blocked by an employer for bad feedback)
When an employer reports unprofessional behaviour we make sure to hear both sides, which is why we always investigate negative feedback from both employers and candidates. However, if it’s established that the feedback is accurate, you will receive 1 strike.
Incorrect uniform
The uniform requirements for a shift are always clearly outlined in the job description. Having the wrong uniform at a shift will result in 1 strike.
Other
Some shifts will have extra requirements that are outlined in the job description (eg. it is compulsory for staff to hand in a job card at the end of a stadium shift). Failing to meet these extra requirements will result in 1 strike.
