How HomeBase Works

When you are hired, we will send an invitation to join our team on Homebase to your email. You’ll download Homebase on the app store of your phone or you can access it on a web browser. When you download Homebase on your phone, there will be different tabs that you’re able to see. We will primarily use Homebase, Schedule, Messages, and More.

On the “Homebase” tab, you can click on “Dashboard” and that will be where you’re able to see your upcoming shifts, request covers, and clock in if you are a fellow.
