If you’re running late for a shift, make sure to let the company know as soon as you can.

Keep in mind that if you arrive late, the company might decide not to let you start working and could mark you as a no-show. Reaching out to them as soon as possible can avoid this.

On-time percentage

During check-out, the company indicates whether you arrived on time. If you're late, it will affect your on-time percentage. Other companies can see this score when you apply for future shifts, so arriving on time helps you stand out.
