How the app works

The foundU app is designed to make your day-to-day work easier and more flexible.

  1. Receive shift notifications
    When a centre posts a shift that matches your availability and qualifications, you will receive an instant notification with all the details.

  2. Accept or decline
    You can review the shift information, including the centre name, hours and pay details, and then choose to accept or decline directly in the app.

  3. Clock in and out
    On the day of the shift, use the app to clock in and out at the centre. This automatically records your worked hours.

  4. Shift verification and payment
    After the centre verifies your shift, the system processes the timesheet and ensures you are paid promptly.
