LABOR LEAK CHECKLIST

Get your shift back.

When the same job keeps reopening, something is broken.

No-shows and turnover don’t just reopen a shift. They put customers at risk, spike overtime, and bury supervisors. Your production plan assumes people show up, stay, and perform.

This checklist helps you see where one hard-to-fill role is breaking down — before you repost it, raise pay, or ask supervisors to absorb another week of labor gaps.

LABOR LEAK CHECKLIST

What is labor leak?

A labor leak is the point where a role loses qualified candidates or new hires before the job stabilizes. Sometimes the issue is candidate volume. But more often, the role is breaking somewhere else — and reposting it just repeats the loss.

1

The offer may not match the market.

2

The right candidates may not be seeing the role.

3

The real work may not be clear before acceptance.

4

Early turnover risk may not be flagged fast enough.

Use this checklist to review one specific role — production, warehouse, distribution, logistics, or machine operation — before you touch pay or headcount.
