A little setup saves stress on the day. Finish profile basics so you can post (the Private badge), save a card under Payment cards, and turn on notifications so you do not miss applicants or payment prompts.
When you Post a job, leave enough lead time, check the estimate, invite workers, then confirm the shift with Book on the job screen once you have chosen your main booked workers (Primaries). Optional backup (Standby) covers you if someone does not mark they are on their way (En Route) in time.
How it works
Finish profile basics so you can post (Private badge).
Register a payment card under Payment cards before you use Book.
Use Post a job to choose type, place and time, then send invites.
Pick Primaries (and Standby if you want backup).
On the job screen, use Book to confirm the shift. The estimate is held on your card.
Settle paid time past the booked end (Extra Time) if used, then the final amount once work is done.
Leave a tip if you like, then rate each other.
What to do
-
Finish basics
Complete profile basics so you can post (Private badge) and add a clear address.
-
Card and alerts
Save a card under Payment cards and turn on booking notifications.
-
Optional trust steps
Add Follow my job contacts and ID if you want the extra trust badge (Vetted).
-
Post then Book
Use Post a job with enough lead time, invite workers, then use Book on the job screen at least three hours before start.
Signup is free. You only pay when you use Book (card hold) and when work is done (final pay, plus Extra Time on the job screen if used). Skipping the card or notifications often means a failed Book or a missed unpaid prompt on the day.
