Cancellation Window & Fees
18+ hours before shift start: ✅ Free cancellation
Less than 18 hours before shift start: 💰 100% of booking fee charged
Why This Policy Exists
Locums often commit travel, childcare, parking, and lose other work when booked. The fee ensures they’re fairly compensated if a shift is cancelled at short notice.
How It Works
Fee is automatically charged to your payment method
Locum receives the full day rate as compensation
Applies even in emergencies if under 18 hours’ notice
Key Takeaway
Plan cancellations at least 18 hours in advance to avoid charges and keep relationships strong with reliable locums.
For shorter days after the shift starts, see: “I Was Booked for the Full Day but Asked to Leave Earlier” and “Shortened Shift.”
