USER CONDUCT
You agree to use the Portal in accordance with the following:
SHIFTRX MAY MONITOR INTERACTIONS
At our discretion, ShiftRx, or agents of ShiftRx, may monitor and/or record your interactions with the Portal.
SHIFTRX MAY REMOVE CONTENT
ShiftRx reserves the right, but not an obligation, to monitor the information or material you contribute, post, transmit, publish, otherwise make available through the Portal. ShiftRx will have the right to remove any such information or material that, in our sole opinion, violates, or may violate, any applicable law, either the letter or spirit of the Terms and Conditions, or upon the request of any third party.
PAYMENT
When a Provider books a shift through the Portal with a Facility and the Facility confirms the Provider’s shift, the Facility will be charged a fee for the services purchased. A portion of that fee will be paid to ShiftRx. The Facility will not be charged any additional fees. ShiftRx reserves the right to withhold all or a portion of fees payable to you hereunder if we reasonably believe that you have attempted to defraud or abuse the ShiftRx Portal or violate the terms of these Terms and Conditions.
Payment information you provide to ShiftRx to pay fees must be accurate and complete. ShiftRx uses a third party payment processing provider (the “Payment Processor”). When you provide your information for payment processing, that information, along with other relevant personal information about you, is provided directly to the Payment Processor for the purposes of facilitating such.

You acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability to you in connection with the disclosure of your personal information to the Payment Processor.
Once a shift has been accepted and completed by a Provider, there will be no refund to the Facility; provided, however, should a Facility be dissatisfied with the performance of a Provider that such that it becomes necessary to terminate the Provider’s shift prior to completion, the Facility must provide written notice to support@shiftrx.io prior to the scheduled completion of such shift to allow ShiftRx the opportunity to investigate and arrive at a resolution it believes to be equitable under the circumstances.

Cancellations:
Facilities:
Due to the significant impact cancellations have on the platform and on providers seeking opportunities, we strongly encourage facilities to cancel shifts before hiring an applicant.
If your facility exceeds three cancellations after hiring a provider, ShiftRx will suspend your account and investigate before you are able to continue using our services.
Please make sure the account admin or anyone at your facility is aware of the shift cancellation provisions in your account's agreement, including any applicable fees, before canceling a shift.
Ending Shifts Early Due to Performance Issues
If a provider is sent home for performance reasons after starting their shift, the facility must provide a prompt written notice to ShiftRx via email at support@shiftrx.io prior to the completion of the scheduled shift detailing the circumstances that led to such early-termination.
Providers:
Ending Your Shift Early Due to Safety Reasons:
If a provider feels unsafe for any reason at a facility, they should contact 911 and file a report with a ShiftRx representative within the same day as the scheduled shift. If a provider fails to report this, points will be deducted for leaving early as stated in the attendance policy below.
Attendance Policy: ShiftRx Rating System
Providers:
Star Ratings:
Providers will start off with no rating. Once you work three shifts, a weighted average of your star rating will be displayed on your profile that will be visible to facilities when applying to shifts. This rating will be visible to the facility. After you complete a shift, you will be able to rate the facility as well.
Star Ratings will comprise six categories for providers and facilities.
Providers:
Facilities:
The overall rating on your facility or provider profile will be an averaged score across these categories.
If you believe that you received a rating that was incorrect or unfair, please email us at support@shiftrx.io and we will conduct an internal review on a case by case basis.
Attendance Score
All provider accounts will start with a 100-point score. The maximum score is 200. Providers with a score above 0 will have access to any shift they have the facility-required qualifications for.
Score Reaches 0
If a provider’s score drops below 0, their account will be suspended for 30 days before they will be able to fill in any available shifts on the platform. If an account is suspended 3 times in 6 months, there will be a 365 day suspension of that account.
Any shifts that are already on a calendar before a suspension will immediately become vacant for another provider to fill the spot. A notification will be sent to both the provider and facility affected.
ShiftRx Attendance Policy & Point System
Canceling shifts will result in points being deducted from a party’s Attendance Score. Points are earned for working shifts and getting good reviews.
If a facility reports an issue, points can also be deducted from your score.
Provider’s should not apply to shift’s they are not 100% certain they can work. Provider’s are able to cancel their shift application at no penalty if they have not been hired for the shift yet. Facilities have up to 48 hours to hire the applicant after they apply to a shift. Should a provider cancel their application, after being hired, ShiftRx will be required to reduce the provider’s Attendance Score accordingly (based on whether (and how much) advanced notice was provided).
By tapping on “Cancel”, the provider will be informed of the point(s) being deducted for the cancellation, as well as the provider’s new Attendance Score. Providers may also find their current Attendance Score by tapping on Ratings -> My Attendance Score -> See Details, as well as details regarding prior earned or lost points.
If a provider’s Attendance Score reaches zero, their account will become restricted and will be subject to review by ShiftRx before it may be reinstated on the Platform.

Any User found or suspected by us to have violated this may be banned from using the platform.
For greater clarity, Users are not permitted to accept or offer permanent, temporary, or contractual work or employment (whether permanent, relief, part-time or full-time) to or from another User who they connected with via the Portal for a period of six (6) months after their last engagement with that User, except with the prior written consent from ShiftRx. Any failure to obtain ShiftRx’ prior written consent as provided herein will result in such User being liable to pay a penalty charge of $5,000.00. This penalty fee will be applied to each party involved in the circumvention engagement (i.e., both Facility and Provider). Additionally, ShitfRx reserves its right to pursue legal action against Users and will be entitled to any and all damages and attorney’s fees under the applicable law. This penalty fee will be applied to each party involved in the circumvention engagement (i.e., both Facility and Provider).
PERMANENT HIRING; BUYOUT FEES
Facilities retain the option to permanently employ a provider from the Portal, subject to payment of the applicable Buyout Fee. Said Buyout Fee is non-negotiable and non-refundable, and shall unequivocally apply in cases where a Facility has extend an offer of employment to, or has otherwise sought to directly engage, any provider whom it has hired or engaged for less than ten (10) shifts via the Portal during the three (3) month period immediately preceding such employment or engagement offer.
The “Buyout Fee" for engaging a provider amounts to $10,000, whereas the Buyout Fee for pharmacy technicians, pharmacy assistants, and interns/students is set at $5,000.00. Upon remittance of the Buyout Fee, the Facility expressly acknowledges and accepts the non-refundable nature of the Buyout Fee and waives any right to seek a refund, negotiation, or transfer thereof.
