Deceptive work order wages I am thankful to be a part of a platform that allows people to connect with potential buyers to earn income. It has been freeing not being a part of it a traditional W2 work paradigm. What I have noticed happening though is potential buyers looking for skilled workers at bargain-basement prices. This business practice is generally accepted in a free market enterprise, but is also the source of my contention. My gripe is how buyers attract potential workers with often confusing and misleading wages. I've been afforded a few opportunities to speak with companies posting work on the platform, and have heard on more than one occasion the horror stories of some of the people they've contracted. This isn't surprising considering the way buyers bait a potential worker. Often times the wage will be presented as something like $165 (example). Sounds decent for a work order until you realize that the number represents a potential earning and not an actual earning. That $165 could be for up to 3 hours work. A dig deeper into the work order could unearth an "estimated" time for the job being less than what is being offered, say 1 hour. Now the advertised $165 went down to a likely $55! It is upsetting to see how deceptive the pricing really is. What makes it even more upsetting is when you place a counteroffer looking for the advertised price and are not awarded the job. This is what has prompted me to draft this complaint. The crux of my complaint is this: How is it okay to knowingly use deceptive pricing strategies? I have found that it pays better to accept jobs you are not qualified to do because they take longer to perform, which allows an opportunity to earn the amount advertised. If you happen to be adept at what you do, you make less because you don't require the entire time that has been allotted. Proof of this practice is evidenced by companies changing the work order's terms. I have applied for numerous jobs asking for the amount offered only to see the job details get changed. This means they couldn't find someone to perform the work for less than what was advertised. It's unfortunate there is so much dishonesty out there. It's a shame a gentlemanly agreement to render work isn't enough or even honored anymore, but what is even more disheartening is this platform allowing these conditions to breed this kind of environment. Furthermore, it is sad for a business relationship to be predicated upon a foundation of lies and distrust. In today's economic times, transparency should be the norm, not the exception.

WorkMarket and HyperWallet's way of… WorkMarket and HyperWallet's way of communicating with each other on a problem I know more than I have experienced made me spend around 70hours trying to fix a problem getting a verification. They pretended that they had never seen this problem before (also when the same problem happened multiple times) and kept sending me between the two companies for 50 hours, it took 50 hours of work before anyone decided to help me. I had already gotten paid for months before they decided they needed my information for a second time and all of this happened. I ended up leaving the project I was working on and I will ever work with anyone that uses their services as a way of payment in the future. I am sure some customers easily can access their money, but if there are any problems at any time, do not expect them to help you.

Ripoff platform! Withholding money without reason. This company could hold your contractors payment for many days without letting you know, and they only send your money out after you check with them. And they charge you a variety of fees. I had this experience and I believe lots of others as well. Working with this platform will force your contractors to leave you because of no proper payment and unreasonably collecting a variety of fees. Ripoff platform!

Worst innovation my company has ever… Worst innovation my company has ever implemented. I work for Signify Health as an independent contractor and have done so since 2012. This year Signify Health started moving those of us who are contractors to Workmarket and off their internal payroll system. The Workmarket website is confusing and not user friendly. In order to get paid you need to use the site to populate a W-9 that is sent to the IRS for verification. If accepted it will let you obtain any funds authorized by the company who is your employer. If the information is rejected, it doesn’t tell you why. It refers you to 6 pages of instructions and a W9 form that you can practice filling out. Unfortunately the instructions pertain to the 2018 version of the form but their Website is programmed to generate the 2011 version of the form. The Tech/customer support people insist that the 2011 form must be filled out even though it’s obsolete. There is no provision on that form to be paid as a sole proprietor LLC. Support doesn’t acknowledge that it is a legitimate type of corporate entity. They insist that if “you” are paid as a business you have to have an EIN. They have disconnected me from chat, hung up on me when I attempt to explain that it’s their problem not mine, or “no one is available to take my call.” NOT responsive, not innovative and definitely not an improvement in terms of record keeping and rapid payment.
