This article explains the best practices for invoicing and getting paid after working a shift at an independent pharmacy.
Before Your Shift
It's a good practice to contact the pharmacy before your shift to:
Introduce yourself.
Ask if they have any specific tasks for you.
Confirm that you are set up to work with them and understand their preferred payment process.
Getting Paid
Unlike large chains, independent pharmacies often have varied payment processes. You are responsible for invoicing the pharmacy directly.
Leave an Invoice In-Store: After your shift, leave a completed invoice to be processed by the pharmacy manager.
Email an Invoice: You can also email a copy of your invoice directly to the pharmacy. Ask for the correct email address while you are in the store.
Check "Additional Information": Always check the "Additional Information" section of your shift details on our platform for any specific payment instructions from the pharmacy manager or employer.
