What is a Private Sidekick?
Businesses can manage their rostering, shift scheduling, and payroll through Sidekicker by inviting staff members on to the platform as 'Private Sidekicks'.
Being a 'Private Sidekick' means you are an employee of Sidekicker, but can only view and work shifts for the business that invited you.
What happens when a business has invited you as a Private Sidekick?
You'll find an email 'Invitation to join Sidekicker' in your email inbox (if not, please check your junk mail), with a link to accept the invitation.
Accept the invitation, and start your easy onboarding to become a Private Sidekick. The sooner you complete your profile, the sooner you can start accepting shifts!
How to complete your profile?
There are just a few simple steps to complete in order to start working with the company who invited you. Follow through the instructions below.
Step 1: Log in to your Sidekicker account here
Step 2: Complete all mandatory certificates
The certificates section includes a list of certificates for you to upload. This includes at least two mandatory certificates: OH&S Induction and Right to Work check, and potential other certificates based on the role you commence working as.
OH&S Induction
Click the certificate name and you'll be taken to the OH&S quiz that should take 5-10 minutes to complete. You must answer all questions successfully to pass the quiz.
Right to Work check
To verify your right to work, you’ll need a visa or citizenship document:
