Can Health Care Workers decline a job offer?

Health Care Workers can always decline any inquiries or job offers they can’t accommodate, but they should do so within 24 hours. The following reasons for declining job offers may include: 

• Care location too far
• Double booked
• Request goes beyond my care services
• Early or late start or end time
• Extra Care Recipient
• Job offer does not come on the right day
• Job offer is too long or too short
• Job offer leaves a gap between existing jobs
• I'm not comfortable with this request
• Other

Whether a Health Care Worker accepts or declines, the amount of time it takes to respond to requests is factored into their response rate. Rejecting many requests can have an impact on subsequent search results, as well as acceptance rates. When Health Care Workers decline a job offer, they can choose to keep the calendar dates unavailable or make them available for someone else. Health Care Workers are asked to update their calendar regularly, so they only receive job offers for when they can help. If the Health Care Worker changes their mind and would like to accept a job offer they declined, send a new job offer.
