#2 Book a pro

Business-posted gigs (independent pros bid their own rate)

Independent workers name their own rates; you decide which to accept. The marketplace does not invent a standard price.

See pros and book

Prices are set by each independent pro and shown before you pay.

#3 Do it yourself

Price the shift fairly

  1. Look at similar open and completed posts in your area.
  2. Check your state and city minimum wage and any local rules that may apply to your work.
  3. Include travel, parking and the length of the shift in the pay.
  4. Add a bonus for same-day or hard work.
  5. Let workers bid their own rate and compare.

Safety: Do not ask workers to accept pay outside the platform.

Stop and call a pro if: You are unsure of legal pay rules; ask your state labor office.
