What is the Workforce Portal?
What if I have days that I cannot work?
By keeping your online availability calendar updated in your workforce portal, we can easily tell which days you are available. If you have a day pop up in which you cannot work, please contact your GrapeTree Staffing Specialist to have them mark your calendar as 'Do Not Work.'
What if I am sick or have an emergency and can't work my scheduled shift?
We understand that emergencies come up and people get sick, but since we are in the business of filling shifts for those types of emergencies already, it is very important that we're alerted immediately. Employees who are sick or cannot work a scheduled shift must notify our office and the facility as soon as possible so arrangements can be made to find a replacement. In the case of an illness, a doctor's note is required to be sent to our office so we can be accountable to the facilities we staff.
Can I choose the facilities in which I'd like to work at?
Yes, you can choose the facilities where you would like to work. Our online portal allows you to see shifts up to 250 miles of all facilities, or at facilities that are only marked as your preferred. Communication with your Staffing Specialist will ensure that you are only notified of facilities that you want to work at.
Who do I contact if I have concerns for patient care and safety?
We encourage you to discuss your concerns directly with the facility using the appropriate chain of reporting. If your concerns can't be resolved through the facility or GrapeTree management, you are encouraged to contact The Joint Commission at the Office of Quality Monitoring (OQM) at (800) 994-6610. GrapeTree will take no disciplinary or punitive action for reports of safety or quality-of-care concerns.

When do timesheets have to be submitted?
Timesheets need to be submitted in your Workforce Portal each week by 8 a.m. on Sunday if you wish to be paid Friday (for the previous workweek of Sunday-Saturday). We recommend that you submit your timesheets immediately after your shift.

Do I have to use a GrapeTree timesheet? What if I forgot to bring a timesheet with me to the facility?
All of your shifts worked must be submitted on a GrapeTree timesheet. Handwritten or non-GrapeTree timesheets will not be accepted. If you forgot to bring a timesheet to the facility, you may download one from our Employee Center if the facility has computer access. If the facility does not have computer access, it is your responsibility to make arrangements with the facility to get a GrapeTree timesheet completed in order for you to be paid.
What if I can't get my timesheet uploaded in the Workforce Portal?
If you are having issues uploading your timesheet and have tried all options, you can email your timesheet to our Payroll Department: payroll@grapetree.com.
What if I didn't take a break/lunch during my shift?
You must have the facility initial the "no break exception" line on your timesheet. If the facility does not initial this part on your timesheet, the break/lunch will be deducted.
What if I turn in my timesheet after the deadline?
If you turn in your timesheet after the deadline (8am on Sunday), your compensation will be delayed until the following pay period.
What if my shift starts one day and ends the next? How do I record that on my timesheet?
If you work a shift that begins one day and ends the next, record all times for that shift in the column the day the shift started.
What happens if I calculate my total hours worked wrong and write it incorrectly on my timesheet?
As long as your shift start and end times, as well as if you took a break, are written correctly on the timesheet, it's okay if the total hours is miscalculated. Our system will recalculate the hours when we review your timesheet.
I can't upload my timesheet to the Workforce Portal because the shift is not on my calendar.
Please contact your Staffing Specialist so that he/she can add the shift to your calendar.
