Trust & safety
Badges show only what was checked
ShiftFill does not vet beyond the checks listed on each profile. Every badge names its source and the date it was checked; anything self-reported is shown as "on file, unverified".
Trust tiers
| Tier | Price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Basic · unverified | Free | Listed and searchable. No checks completed. |
| Verified · identity checked | Free | Identity checked through Stripe Identity. |
| Pro · checks listed on profile | Free | Identity plus the market's required license, insurance or background checks. |
Checks we can run
- Identity: government ID and selfie through Stripe Identity.
- License: number matched against the state's public registry where one is published (TX, WA, NY today), with a link to the registry.
- Insurance: certificate uploaded by the seller, checked by our team, with expiry reminders at 60, 30 and 7 days.
- Background check: Checkr, paid by the seller with their FCRA consent. Not enabled until the Checkr account is live; no badge is shown before then.
Important for this market
- ShiftFill is a gig board, not a staffing agency or employer. Businesses post gigs; independent pros choose which gigs to bid on and set their own rate. ShiftFill never assigns work.
- Businesses may not require ShiftFill pros to accept training, supervision, uniforms, exclusivity or fixed schedules as a condition of a gig. Pros control how the work is done.
- Whether a particular engagement is employment is decided by the business and the pro under applicable law (including California's ABC test). ShiftFill does not pay wages or withhold taxes.
- The business that posts a gig is solely responsible for classifying the pro it engages, and for any wages, taxes, benefits, insurance and workplace-safety duties that law places on it. The business indemnifies ShiftFill against claims arising from that engagement.
Payments and disputes
Payments run through Stripe Connect. If something goes wrong, open a dispute; see the refund policy. Report a listing or copyright problem through the DMCA page or support@eliteaiempire.com. In an emergency call 911.
