What are my responsibilities as a worker?

Being a flex worker means you choose where and when you work. That’s awesome freedom, but it also comes with some responsibilities.

We’ve put together the most important ones so you know exactly what’s expected.

Keep an eye on your applications

Before you sign up for a shift, read the description carefully and make sure you tick the boxes for skills and experience. Also, show up dressed appropriately.

Watch your applications! As long as they’re open, you could still get accepted. Can’t make it after all? Withdraw your application in time so you don’t get scheduled last-minute.

Be professional on your shift

Being on time matters! It shows you’re reliable and that you respect the team. If you can, try to get there a bit early.

The more you rock during your shift and the happier the company is with your work, the more likely you are to get a good rating. This also boosts your chances of getting chosen for future shifts.

Stay safe and healthy

Your health comes first. Follow the safety rules at work and take care of yourself during your shifts. Do you fall ill during your employed shift? Contact us as soon as possible.

Cancel on time

Can’t work a shift? You can cancel freely until the cancellation term expires. After that, cancelling has consequences for your account.

For freelance shifts, you can find a substitute to cover for you. Employed shifts? You can only cancel through the platform.

Understand how things work

Before signing up, make sure you know how the platform works: cancellation rules, payments, insurance, and what’s expected from you. Did you know that freelancers, for example, take on credit risk. But you can also choose to use DirectPay as payment method. And that employed shifts follow labor laws about how often you can work. Reading up saves surprises later.

Taxes

You’re responsible for filing your annual income tax in May. Freelancers also need to do a quarterly VAT declaration (unless you use the small business scheme, KOR).
