# Marking a Shift as Paid

## Confirm when payment has been sent or received for a completed shift.

### Marking a Shift as Paid (Mobile App & Desktop Portal)

### Confirm when payment has been sent or received for a completed shift.

Relief Buddy allows both **workers and offices** to record when a shift has been paid. This helps keep payment records organized and ensures both sides can easily confirm the status of completed shifts.

Once a shift has been completed, either the **office** or the **worker** can update the payment status directly in the Relief Buddy mobile app or desktop portal.

---

### When Can a Shift Be Marked as Paid?

A shift can only be marked as paid when:

- The **shift has been completed**

Once the payment information is entered, the shift status will update to **Paid**.

---

### How to Mark a Shift as Paid

#### For Offices (Owners)

1. Open the **completed shift** in the Relief Buddy app or portal.
2. Click **Mark Shift as Paid**.
3. Enter the payment details:
   
     - **Payment Date**
     - **Payment Method** (Direct Deposit, EMT, Cheque, Stripe, or Other)
     - **Payment Reference Number** (optional but recommended)
4. Click **Submit**.

Once submitted, the shift payment status will update to **Paid**.

---

#### For Workers

Workers can confirm when they have received payment from the office.

1. Open the **completed shift** in your Relief Buddy account.
2. Select **I've Received Payment**.
3. Enter the payment details:
   
     - **Payment Date**
     - **Payment Method**
     - **Payment Reference Number** (if available)
4. Click **Submit**.

The shift will now show a **Paid** status.

---

### If You Haven’t Been Paid Yet

Workers can send a reminder to the office if payment has not yet been received.

To send a reminder:

1. Open the completed shift.
2. Select **I Haven’t Been Paid**.
3. Confirm the request.

An automated email will be sent to the office requesting a payment update.

To prevent spam, reminders are limited to:

- **One reminder every 24 hours**
- **Maximum of 3 reminders per shift**

---

### Viewing Payment Details

Once a shift is marked as **Paid**, you can view the payment details anytime by selecting the **Payment Status** on the shift.

This will display:

- Payment date
- Payment method
- Payment reference number
- Who submitted the payment record

---

### Important Notes

- Payment details **can only be edited by the person who originally submitted them**.
- If payment details were entered by the **office**, the worker cannot modify them.
- If payment details were entered by the **worker**, the office cannot modify them.
- This feature helps maintain an accurate **payment history for completed shifts**.

---

### Tip

Including a **payment reference number** (such as an EMT confirmation code or cheque number) can help both parties easily track and confirm payments.
