**What causes breach points**

**Action**

**Breach points**

Withdraw within 12 hours of the start time

1

Ask the Requestor to cancel for you

1

No-show or withdrawal after the start time

(In some cases, arriving very late may be treated as a no-show)

3

  
Tip: If you can’t make it, withdraw in the app as soon as you know, so another Wonoloer can take the job. See: [How do I withdraw from a job on the app?](https://support-grow2.wonolo.com/en_us/how-do-i-withdraw-from-a-job-on-the-app-(w-2)-r1uXMUdkl)

**Do breach points expire?**

Usually, yes. Points are tied to the event and expire 30 days after they were received. Your total shows points from the last 30 days.

*   Exception: If your total reaches 3 or more within any 30-day period, those points stop expiring, and your job view becomes limited with no set end date.
*   Examples: 1 no-show (3 points), or 3 late-withdrawal/“ask the Requestor to cancel” events in 30 days → points stop expiring.

**What happens when you get breach points**

Breach points can cancel upcoming accepted jobs and limit what you see in the app.
