Everyone needs a break from time to time! Luckily, Temper offers complete flexibility. You schedule your own shifts, work whenever it suits you, and take time off whenever you want. You’re not tied to anything, except, of course, the shifts you’ve already signed up for.
But how does it work with holiday pay and vacation days? That depends on the type of shift you do.
Employed shift
During your employed shift you’re temporarily employed by Temper and entitled to vacation days and holiday pay (8.33%). These are paid out directly per shift and are already included in the hourly rate shown when you sign up. You don’t accumulate vacation days to take later, but everything you earn is paid out immediately with your salary. It’s that simple!
Freelance shift
When working freelance shifts as a self-employed contractor, you set your own hourly rate (you can always negotiate!) and are responsible for setting aside money for your vacation. You will not receive additional holiday pay for this.
