Company policy states that booking process should be strictly completed at least 5 working days prior to the date of service delivery. The booking process involves processing the payment and submitting the needed documents (check the Booking Process section towards the end of this document).
Payment Policy
In the case of short-notice booking (less than 5 working days) the following applies:
- To request the service less than 24 hours in advance, the client has to pay a fixed 25$ in-advance payment to cover for back office operations to ensure that the company conducts the search for an available caregiver.
- Upon processing the in-advance payment, the company will conduct a search to find an available caregiver and will communicate the findings with the client and ask him/her to confirm the booking by processing the remaining payment amount. The 25$ will be deducted from the total due payment.
- Failing to confirm the booking, by processing the payment, by 5 PM on the same day of the communication will give the company the right to claim the $25.
- If the company fails to match the client with a caregiver, the client has the right to ask for the down-payment refund.
- Processing any payment less than 5 calendar days (120 hours) prior to the date of service delivery incurs a percentage increase on the original booking fee (for the first shift) according to the below schedule:
