How Do I Apply?
Everything is handled online through the app. Just complete your application, pass a background check, and pick a time for a interview via Google Meet.
How do I pick up jobs?
Browse shifts by date in the app, view pay and job details, and tap “Accept.” Jobs are first come, first served — so turn on notifications!
Do I need my own transportation?
Yes. You’ll need to get yourself to and from job sites.
Do you offer same-day pay?
Yes
Base pay starts at $17/hr and climbs to $22/hr based on how many jobs you complete. Bonuses, driving pay, and tips can push earnings closer to ~$25/hr.
Your hourly rate increases based on total jobs completed:
Premium Pay is an additional hourly bonus added to base pay when specific job requirements apply, such as when tools are required, the job takes place on a holiday, or specialized experience is needed.
Premiums only apply when they are clearly listed on the job or specifically assigned by Laborjack management (such as a Shift Lead role). Premiums may stack when multiple qualifications apply; for example, if you are assigned as a lead and the job also requires you to bring tools.
Fast payouts are powered by Branch. You’ll need Location Services enabled during your shift so we can verify hours quickly.
Shifts that extend beyond 12 consecutive hours may be eliglible for Extended Hours Pay. If eligible, all hours worked after 12 hours worked will be paid at a 1.5x premium. Note: Hours worked does not include any breaks. For example, if a shift starts at 8am and ends at 9pm, totaling 13 hours, but included an unpaid 1 hour lunch break, then this is 12 total hours worked, and no premium would be applied.
