If something goes wrong

What to try first when starting your time on site fails, pay is late, or you feel unsafe on a shift.

Problems & help

Most issues have a clear next step in the app. Start on the job screen and open messages with the client (Chat). The status trail (Job activity) shows what changed. Most failures to start your time on site (clock-in) are location or mobile data — get closer to the pin, turn location on, and try again.

For payouts, check bank details and wait for the next batch after a fix. For safety, report trouble on the job (Report Incident), then email help@jobzapp.com or WhatsApp the team.

If something goes wrong app screen

How it works

Spot the issue

Name what went wrong on the job screen before you message anyone.

Check Chat and job status

Open Chat on the job screen to confirm what changed with the client, then pick the next action.

Use on-the-day actions

On the job screen, tell the client you are on your way (En Route), start or end your time (clock in or out), take an unpaid break (Pause), or Report Incident as the situation needs.

Contact support if money or safety is stuck

Email help@jobzapp.com or WhatsApp +27 66 045 4791 with the job details.

What to do

  1. If you cannot clock in, turn location on, stand closer to the pin, check mobile data, then message the client in Chat on the job screen.

  2. If you are late, tap En Route on the job screen when you head there, send your ETA in Chat, and remember pay usually starts from clock-in.

  3. If you are backup (Standby) waiting, stay ready until you are released or activated with the tighter En Route window.

  4. If you need to cancel as the main booked worker (Primary), leave the shift for free until four hours before (Withdraw on the job screen). Avoid missing En Route, which can become a no-show.

  5. If a payout is missing, fix bank details, wait for the next batch, or email support with the job and amount.

  6. If you feel unsafe, tap Report Incident on the job, use the Call button in the allowed window, and contact help@jobzapp.com or WhatsApp.

For those who need a human: book a Worker Briefing, WhatsApp +27 66 045 4791, or email help@jobzapp.com.
