6 min readUpdated January 2026

KOVR is built on respect, reliability, and professionalism. These guidelines apply to everyone—workers, employers, and KOVR staff. By using the platform, you agree to uphold these standards.

1. Respect and Inclusion

KOVR is a community of diverse backgrounds. We have zero tolerance for discrimination, harassment, or hate speech based on:

  • Race or ethnicity
  • Gender or gender identity
  • Sexual orientation
  • Religion or disability
  • Age or veteran status

2. Reliability and Commitment

The platform only works if people show up.

  • Workers: Only apply for shifts you can work. If you must cancel, do so as early as possible.
  • Employers: Avoid last-minute cancellations. Provide accurate shift descriptions and requirements.
Note: Habitual no-shows or late cancellations will result in permanent account deactivation.

3. Safety First

  • Never engage in violent or threatening behavior.
  • Do not bring unauthorized weapons or illegal substances to a shift.
  • Follow all local health and safety regulations.

4. Professionalism

  • Honesty: Never misrepresent your skills, experience, or identity.
  • Dress Code: Always arrive in the clothing specified by the employer.
  • Communication: Keep all shift-related communication within the KOVR app. This protects you in case of a dispute.

5. Platform Integrity

  • No Off-Platform Payments: For your protection (insurance, tax reporting, and guaranteed pay), all payments must go through KOVR. Taking payments outside the app will result in immediate removal.
  • Privacy: Do not share personal data of other users outside of what is necessary for the shift.

Enforcement

We investigate every report of a guideline violation. Possible actions include:

  1. A formal warning.
  2. A temporary suspension from applying for or posting shifts.
  3. Permanent account deactivation.

If you see someone violating these guidelines, pleasereport it through the app.
