When will my earnings be available?
Earnings for every 1099 shifts you work will be added to your WorkWhile balance 24 hours after the end of the shift. The pending payment on your Pay History will give you an estimate of when you can expect funds from a shift to be available. Funds for 1099 shifts become available for cash-out once the shift’s status updates to "Paid."
Earnings for W-2 shifts are paid differently from 1099 shifts. Earnings for W2 shifts are processed every weekday* (Monday-Friday) and deposited into your account within 24 hours of shift approval or weekly on Monday and direct deposited into your account by EOD Wednesday. Please note that W-2 payments cannot be cashed out through the WorkWhile app and are issued via direct deposit to the bank account linked to your Everee profile.
*Qualified W-2 workers can choose between a daily (Monday-Friday) or weekly payroll period. Upon your first W-2 shift, you may be prompted with the option to select your payment period. You can also access and update your selection within the Me section of the App. Unfortunately daily payroll is not currently available for workers with garnishments. To select or change your payment preferences: 1. Navigate to the "Me" section of the app. 2. Select your preferred payment option (Daily or Weekly Pay). 3. Confirm your selection.
**You may clock in up to 15 minutes prior to your shift start time. Your pay starts when the shift officially begins.
It’s been more than 24 hours. Why aren't my earnings available yet?
If the supervisor asked you to work past the scheduled end time of your shift, they will also need to approve those extra hours through their WorkWhile account before payment can be processed. We will send reminders to the supervisors to ensure they review and approve those extra hours in a timely manner.
Please review the job description carefully as some shifts may have longer review periods, which can delay the payout beyond the standard schedule. If cash-out functionality is temporarily unavailable, rest assured that your earnings are safe. Once the issue is resolved, you’ll be able to withdraw your funds as usual. WorkWhile cannot expedite payments beyond the standard review and payout timelines.
What is the 4-hour minimum pay policy?
If you are scheduled to work 4+ hours and end up working less, you will receive a minimum of 4 hours' pay.
If you are scheduled for less than 4 hours, the minimum pay policy does not apply, and you will be compensated only for hours worked.
How can I access my earnings?
WorkWhile offers you two payment options:
Instant Pay cash out to an eligible debit card
Via direct deposit to your bank account
Cash Out
You can cash out the funds available on your WorkWhile balance to an eligible debit card at any time. There is no fee for cashing out, but this may change in the future.
Cash outs must be requested through the Home or Money tabs of the WorkWhile app (they are not automatic). Funds should arrive on your debit card within a few minutes but can take up to 90 minutes. Please note that only Visa and Mastercard debit cards are supported. Some prepaid cards (i.e. Netspend) may not be supported. If a 1099 worker does not cash out their Sunday shift balance before Monday, the payment will be processed as a direct bank transfer instead of a debit card transfer. Workers must add an eligible bank-issued debit card under the "Earnings" tab in the app for cash outs. Prepaid cards are not supported for instant cash-outs. To cash out your available earnings for 1099 shifts:
Open the WorkWhile app.
Navigate to the "$ Money" section.
Tap the "Cash Out" button and follow the prompts to complete the transfer. Alternatively, you can use the "Need Cash" button on the Home screen to transfer funds to your debit card once they are available.
Weekly Payroll via Direct Deposit
Every Monday, WorkWhile processes a direct deposit payment to your bank account for all funds in your WorkWhile balance that have not already been cashed out. Funds should arrive in your bank account within 1-3 days of the direct deposit transfer. Weekly pay covers shifts worked from Sunday through Saturday, processed on Monday and deposited by Wednesday.
Payments for W2 shifts are processed every weekday (Monday-Friday) and deposited into your account within 24 hours of shift approval or weekly on Monday and direct deposited into your account by EOD Wednesday.
