We’re so pleased you’re here. Short Notice is our very first social change, local good initiative. It’s a simple concept - we’re helping connect the dots between small businesses who need staff and neighbours who might have time on their hands. These guidelines are here to ensure both parties have a great experience. You’re welcome to get in touch with the Neighbourly team if you have any questions or need support.

• Please post from a Neighbourly Premium Business Listing. We’re giving these away for FREE at the moment! It’ll only take a couple of minutes to get set up
• As a business please clearly state what kind of work you are asking for from the volunteers.
• Please be clear on whether this is paid work - or whether you are looking for help by way of volunteers
• We suggest including the business name and address as well as contact details should the community want to discuss the opportunity direct
• The negotiation of employment, volunteer or otherwise, is a private one between the member and the business.
• Neighbourly takes no responsibility or liability in respect of this relationship
• It is up to the business as to whether they provide compensation to neighbours.
• This Short Notice initiative is intended for businesses that cannot operate due to staff needing to isolate due to Covid-19, however may be extended to all businesses who are looking to fill gaps in their rosters
• Neighbourly is not liable for any damage or loss in respect of this arrangement.

• If you are offering your time to a local business, let them know how to contact you. We advise against publishing personal details in any public forum and suggest asking people to send you a private message on Neighbourly.
• Make sure you share the dates and times you’re available in your post, as well as any specific skill sets (eg trained barista, answering phones, driving / deliveries, administration)
• Please be clear on whether you are volunteering your time to help a small business or whether you are expecting to be paid for your time.
• The negotiation of employment, volunteer or otherwise, is a private one between the member and the business. Neighbourly takes no responsibility or liability in respect of this relationship
• Members are not bound to working for a business. However, we encourage you to let a small business know if you’re not so keen on their offer. They’ll appreciate the communication!
• Neighbourly is not offering any compensation to volunteers
