Economics
Pay basis: Per shift
Use the exact shift offer; no one national rate or volume is guaranteed.
Fees: Wonolo states there are no hidden worker fees; review each shift, classification, cancellation, and payout term.
Payout: Wonolo states payment generally arrives 1-5 business days after a completed job, with exceptions possible.
Time to first dollar: After onboarding, first completed shift, approval, and the stated payout period.
Common expenses
