Weekly Minimum Guarantee
If you work one or more shifts in a week, you’re paid as normal
​
If no shifts are available that week, you’re paid for one shift at the guaranteed rate
​
No double pay — just a safety net
How the Weekly Guarantee Works
You are guaranteed one paid shift per week
​
The guarantee only applies if you work zero shifts that week
​
If you work, the guarantee does not apply
This provides stability without removing flexibility.
