# Checking Out of a Shift

## Overview

You've completed your shift at the community (great job!) and now you need to check out. Even if a community has their own separate check in/check out process, you **must** use the KARE Heroes app to check out in order to be paid. This guide will go through how to check out of a shift.

 

## Checking Out

Once you have completed your shift, tap the **Check Out**button. If you have location services turned on, the app will automatically check you out if you leave the community.

## Verifying Hours

Once you've tapped **Check Out**, you will be redirected to the shift details screen. If you haven't done so already, add breaks or meals by doing the following:

1. Locate the **Add meal & break type **selector
2. Choose from a list of break options
3. Tap out of the list, locate the break option below
4. Tap the **pencil** icon
5. Adjust the minutes of your break
6. Tap **Ok**
7. Tap **Check Out**

## Modifying Time

See a mistake? No worries, you can modify your time before a community verifies your shift by:

1. Opening the shift details card
2. Tap **Incorrect Check In or Check Out**

2. Adjust the times as needed
3. Once finished, tap **next**

Once this is finished, you will be required to review the community anonymously. Afterwards, a community supervisor will need to verify your time to get paid. *Please Note: *It is important that you submit the correct check in and out times and breaks before the community verifies your shift. If they make time changes, your reliability score will be negatively impacted.
