Completing the shift

Ending the shift

Initiated by the Worker: The gig worker will initiate the end-of-shift process through the Pagato platform. This typically involves them entering an end shift code or completing a digital timesheet.

Confirmation by the Business: Once the worker has indicated the shift's end, you'll need to confirm it on your end. This may involve verifying the hours worked and ensuring all tasks were completed satisfactorily.

Feedback: After confirming the shift's end, consider providing feedback on the worker's performance. This not only helps them grow professionally but also assists other businesses in making informed decisions when selecting workers.

By following these practices, you can create a positive and productive environment for both your regular team and the gig workers who join you. Effective preparation and management ensure that everyone benefits from the arrangement, making your business more flexible and responsive to its changing needs.

After the shift

Once a shift has ended, taking a few steps can help you reflect on the experience, provide valuable feedback, and prepare for future success. Here's how to wrap up a shift productively:

Rate & Review the Worker:

Importance of Feedback: Taking the time to rate and review the worker is crucial. Your insights not only help them improve but also guide other businesses in making informed hiring decisions. Be honest yet constructive in your feedback, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement.

Reflect on the Shift:

To continuously improve the way you utilize Pagato for your staffing needs, consider the following questions:

Pre-Shift Instructions: Did you provide clear and comprehensive instructions before the worker's arrival? Ensuring they have all the necessary information can lead to a more effective shift.

Workplace Orientation: Reflect on whether you adequately showed the workplace and all necessary materials. A thorough orientation can significantly impact the worker's efficiency and comfort level.

Attire Requirements: Did you clearly communicate any specific attire requirements? Proper attire not only ensures the worker fits into your workplace environment but also addresses safety and hygiene standards.

Repeat Success: If you were satisfied with how the shift went, Pagato makes it easy to replicate this success. You can copy this job post for future bookings, saving time and ensuring consistency in your staffing requirements.

Taking these after-shift steps not only helps you close out the current gig effectively but also sets the stage for even smoother operations in the future. Reflecting on and learning from each shift allows you to refine your approach, ensuring you get the most out of your partnership with Pagato and the talented workers it connects you with.
