8.    FINANCIAL TERMS



8.1.      Shifts. A “Shift” is the provision of Healthcare Services by you to a Facility in accordance with the description and scope of such Healthcare Services, including the type and nature of such Healthcare Services, the date, time, duration, and location of such Healthcare Services, that are requested, bid on, received, approved, accepted, and fulfilled through the use of the MyShyft Services.



8.2.      Shift Fee Calculation and Your Payment. Prior to accepting a Shift, you are entitled to set the hourly rate that you wish to be paid during the Shift (“Bid Rate”). On the Site, you may bid for Shifts by inputting your Bid Rate and applying to those Shifts you are interested in working. If a Facility chooses you for a Shift, you must confirm the shift and then will be paid the Bid Rate for as many hours you work (“Bid Fee”) during that Shift, subject to any adjustments pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Cancellation Charges provisions in Section 7.4. The Revenue Sharing Fee (as defined below) plus the Bid Fee will be the total fee charged to the Facility (“Shift Fee”). You: (i) appoint MyShyft as your limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Bid Fee, and, depending on the Territory and/or if requested by you, applicable taxes and fees from the Facility on your behalf via the payment processing functionality facilitated by the MyShyft Services; and (ii) agree that payment made by Facility to MyShyft shall be considered the same as payment made directly by Facility to you.



8.3.      Revenue Sharing Fee. In consideration of MyShyft’s provision of the Services for your use and benefit hereunder, you agree to allow MyShyft to collect a service fee on a per Shift basis calculated on a percentage of the Shift Fee (“Revenue Sharing Fee”). The current Revenue Sharing Fee is twenty-five percent (25%) of the Bid Fee. The Revenue Sharing Fee may be adjusted as provided to you via email or otherwise made available electronically by MyShyft from time to time. In the event regulations require taxes to be calculated on the Shift Fee, MyShyft shall calculate the Revenue Sharing Fee based on the Shift Fee net of such taxes. MyShyft reserves the right to change the Revenue Sharing Fee at any time in MyShyft’s discretion and MyShyft will provide you with notice in the event of such change. Continued use of the Services after any such change in the Revenue Sharing Fee calculation shall constitute your consent to such change.



8.4.      Cancellation Charges; Last-Minute Cancellation; Sent Home Pay.  You and facility users acknowledge and agree that Facilities may cancel an accepted and scheduled Shift, subject to the following payment obligations:
a.       A Facility may cancel an accepted and scheduled Shift more than two (2) hours prior to the scheduled start time indicated in the applicable Shift listing without incurring any financial liability.
b.       If a Facility cancels an accepted and scheduled Shift within two (2) hours prior to the scheduled start time, you will be compensated by the Facility for two (2) hours at the applicable Bid Rate. 
c.      If a Facility cancels a Shift after you timely arrive at the Facility (meaning no earlier than seven (7) minutes prior to the schedule shift start time and no later than seven (7) minutes after the scheduled start time, as evidenced by your check-in and/or geolocation through the Platform), you will be compensated by the Facility for the greater of: (i) four (4) hours at the applicable Bid Rate, or (ii) the total number of hours actually worked during that Shift at the applicable Bid Rate. 
d.      The minimum payments in subsections (b) and (c) will not apply (and you will only be paid for hours actually worked, if any) if the Facility’s cancellation or early end of a Shift results from your failure to timely arrive, material breach of this Agreement or the Facility’s applicable policies/lawful requirements, impairment or misconduct, or lack of required credentials for the Shift. Any such circumstance may also constitute a Shift Dispute under Section 8.6. 
e.      You agree that the foregoing payments are the only payments, if any, that you will be entitled to receive as a result of a Facility cancelling a shift
f.      If there is a dispute between the Facility schedule and the MyShyft platform, you must obtain confirmation from an authorized representative of the Facility prior to leaving a facility in order to qualify for sent home pay.



8.5.      Methods of Payment. MyShyft facilitates payments to you from the Facility for Healthcare Services you provide during Shifts shall only be made via  Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) deposit via our payment processing vendor, Stripe. MyShyft uses a third-party payroll service to ensure the proper payment to Caregivers and reporting to the IRS.



8.6.      Shift Disputes. If a Facility is not satisfied with the Healthcare Services that are provided during a Shift, and such dissatisfaction is reported to MyShyft (a “Shift Dispute”) we may, at our discretion, issue a refund or adjust the Shift Fee, and any components thereof, for such Shift. As a result, this may affect the amount paid to you. A Shift Dispute includes, but is not limited to, the following: (a) when the Caregiver was incapable of or unwilling to adequately perform the Healthcare Services agreed to for the Shift; (b) when the Caregiver inaccurately reports the hours worked for a given Shift, and, as a result, was or may be overpaid for the Shift; (c) if during the Shift, the Caregiver did not comply with safety or health standards that were required given the nature of the particular Shift or otherwise fails to comply with applicable law or the applicable Facility’s standards, policies, practices, an procedures governing applicable to Provider in the fulfillment of such Shift. If a Facility submits a Shift Dispute, MyShyft will investigate the matter. After we receive a Shift Dispute, we will contact you for you to provide any information regarding the matter.



8.7.      Overpayment. In the event that you are paid more for any Shift than is called for by the Shift Fee, as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement due to any inaccuracies on a Shift record confirmation, as a result of a Shift Dispute, or otherwise, whether through clerical or technological error or otherwise, you agree and understand that MyShyft may recover the amount of overpayment through deduction(s) from future payments for other Shifts or any other legal means available to MyShyft. Unless you and MyShyft otherwise agree in writing to a series of smaller deductions in specified amounts, any such deduction(s) will be equal to, but never exceed, the amount of the overpayment.



8.8.      Taxes. You acknowledge and agree that you are required to: (a) complete all tax registration obligations and calculate and remit all tax liabilities and/or obligations related to your completion of Shifts as required by applicable law; and (b) provide MyShyft with all relevant tax information. You further acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for the filing and payment of any and all taxes on your own income arising from the performance of Shifts.
