Check WMS and Block Approvals.
This can be located in the WorkForce tab, under Blocks Approvals. Use “Ctrl F” to search the DP’s name. (Be sure to deselect the WH at the top left of your screen to see all “under review” blocks)
If DP’s name appears, send the answer, Pay: Under Review Status, in Gladly.
If not found in block approvals, search the payment history for recently approved blocks.
If not found in either, move to the next step.
Review our: Pay Correction Requests
If the DP still needs to submit a jotform, DS agents may reference: Pay: Pay Correction Form Request and tailor that response.
If the DP has submitted a jotform, you may reference, Pay: Pay Correction Follow Up and tailor that response.
If the jotform was submitted more than 24 hours ago, you may reference: Pay: Correction Posted and escalate the issue to the Pay Correction Channel.
Note: Please keep in mind that we should not rely solely on these answers. We want to acknowledge the issue and answer any questions or concerns the DP may have.

De-escalation is a skill that everyone can benefit from, especially when faced with heated conflicts or emotionally charged situations
By catching early signs of conflict, you can prevent it from spiraling out of control. Human beings are wired to react emotionally to stress, and knowing how to spot these reactions early is essential.
Be empathetic: Try to understand the other person's feelings and perspective
Use active listening: Give the other person your full attention and show that you understand what they're saying
Speak calmly: Use the right tone and words, and ask open-ended questions
Clarify the issue: Summarize the key points that led to the disagreement. This helps ensure that everyone is on the same page and that no details are overlooked.
Set achievable outcomes: Not every problem will have a perfect solution, but you can set small, achievable goals that lead to a better outcome
