At Homage, we value your continued commitment to delivering timely, quality care to our clients. Each visit you fulfil plays a crucial role in the lives of those who depend on us. To ensure consistent and dependable support for our care recipients, we are implementing a new Care Professional Performance Management framework, effective 20 Aug 2025.
These updates are designed to promote responsibility, fairness, and transparency while ensuring uninterrupted care for those who need it most.
What are the Key Changes?
How Do You Incur a Strike?
- You may receive a strike in a rolling 12 week period if you:
- Have 1 Last-Minute Cancellation or No-Show without valid documentation,
OR - Accumulate 3 Last-Minute Cancellations or No-Shows with valid documentations
- Have 1 Last-Minute Cancellation or No-Show without valid documentation,
What happens on the Strike System?
1st Strike: You will be scheduled for a coaching call with our Care Pro Performance Management team and receive an email notification documenting the strike.
2nd Strike: You will be required to attend an in-person coaching session. The Care Pro Performance Management team will contact you to arrange the schedule, and you will receive an email notification documenting the second strike.
3rd Strike: You will receive a final email notification, and your profile will be blacklisted from the Homage platform, restricting you from taking on any further care assignments on the Homage platform.
What does a Rolling 12-week period mean?
- We review the most recent 12 weeks at any point in time to track repeated occurrences.
What is a Last Minute Cancellation and No Show?
- Cancelling a visit within 48 hours of the scheduled start time
