Adding A Split Shortfall

A Split Shortfall refers to two separate but connected work periods on the same day.
For example, in a childcare environment, staff may be required to work 7.30am-9am for the before school period and then 3.30pm-6pm for the after school period.
Alternately, aged care providers may be required to attend a client’s house at 8.30am-11am to feed and clean at breakfast and again at 4pm-7pm to handle medications and dinner.
