Companies have the option of offering bonuses for the shifts they post on the WorkWhile app. You'll be able to see whether a shift offers a bonus before accepting it. If you accept and work a shift that has a bonus, the bonus payment will be processed 24–48 hours after the scheduled end time of that shift. Please note that bonuses are processed separately from base pay, meaning your base pay may appear first, with the bonus issued as a separate disbursement. Additionally, the pay amount displayed for a future shift is an estimate, and the final amount, including any bonuses, may differ once the shift is completed and finalized.
Please note, shift bonuses are only issued once you have worked and completed a shift. If the shift is canceled with late notice, you will only receive the base pay. Factors such as lateness can affect your final payment amount. If you arrive late to a shift, your pay may be reduced according to the platform’s lateness policy. Bonuses, if applicable, are added to the gross pay before taxes and other deductions (e.g., FICA, authorized deductions) are applied. If your bonus has not appeared after the standard processing time of 24–48 hours (or up to 5 business days in some cases), contact your employer or the support team for assistance. Only the employer who posted the shift has the authority to decide whether a bonus can be added or adjusted, so it is important to reach out to them directly through the app if needed.
