Frequently Asked Questions by Service Providers

Why is content important for my Marketing Page?

Clients base their hiring decisions on content and skills they find on marketing pages. The higher quality your content is, the more professional and trustworthy you look. Content is one of many ways you can get an advantage over other competitors.

Does it cost me anything to sign-up as a HappyTask Service Provider?

When signing up we only ask that you pay a one-time fee for your background check. All the other tools and systems we give you access to are completely free!

How old must I be to become an Service Provider?

You must be at least 16 years old. If under 18, you need parental or guardian permission to become a Provider.

How many service types can I offer on my account?

You can offer up to 10 individual service types, and create up to 5 Teams with other registered Service Providers.

Do I need a driver’s license and vehicle?

No, but having a vehicle may help you meet client needs. Timeliness is crucial, and frequent tardiness may lead to negative reviews or even account termination.

Do I need a Social Security or ITIN number?

Yes, for a limited background check and tax forms.

Are background checks conducted on Service Providers and Team Members?

Yes we perform limited background checks. Felony or sex crime violations will disqualify you. Please refer to the “Terms of Use” for details.

How much can I charge for my Services?

We give you the freedom to set your own hourly rates. Competitive pricing is recommended to attract clients. We can provide suggested pricing guidelines if needed.

Who decides what hours and days I work?

You set your own schedule, which you can update anytime. More availability usually means more job offers.

Who decides which Service Provider or Team will provide the Client their service?

Here at HappyTask we give the power to the Clients to choose what best fits their needs. Clients choose their Service Provider or Team based on profiles and pricing.

Do I have to accept every project when offered?

You do not have to accept every project offered, but too frequent of cancellations can lead to potential negative reviews. Communicating reasons for cancelation is recommended!

How does the Client pay for the work I perform?

Clients pay via valid credit card or checking account through our third-party payment partner Stripe. Payments are managed by our accounting team.

When will the Client be charged for the work performed?

Clients default credit card will be billed the day after the service is completed.

What if the Client is unhappy with the service I provided?

Clients are encouraged to communicate expectations and resolve issues with you directly. They can terminate the service if unsatisfied, and their review will likely reflect their experience with you so remain polite and professional.

How do I get paid?

You are paid via ACH transfer to your bank account. Payments are typically deposited within 3 business days. We will also send an IRS 1099-misc. form showing your yearly HappyTask income!

How are Teams paid?

Each Team member must have an individual account and sets their own hourly rate. Members are paid directly based on their individual rates. The hourly rate the Client sees for the team is the combined individual rates of each active team member.

Do Service Provider’s pay necessary self-employment taxes?

Yes, you are responsible for your self-employment taxes since you are an independent contractor working on the Clients behalf. We provide a 1099-misc form at year-end.

What do you do with the information I provide when signing up?

Your private and personal information is securely encrypted. Any payment information is processed using an SSL encrypted, PCI-compliant system (these are the same standards required by the banking industry). Your information will never be sold, viewed, or used by any outside entity. In addition, we will not allow Governmental Agencies to access our data files unless they have a legal valid warrant, specifically detailing the person and information requested. Your privacy is one of our top priorities here at HappyTask.

How does HappyTask make money?

HappyTask facilitates the marketing, connection, work order processing, time tracking, and payment processing between the Client and Service Provider of each transaction. Due to this, HappyTask receives a percentage fee of each service. Our percentage fees are transparently added on top of the hourly rate you choose for your service, so you still earn the exact wage you chose.

How does HappyTask know how long I was working on a project?

You must use our mobile app for time and GPS tracking during the service so we can automate calculations. This software will only track location during the active service hours during time tracking.

Who works for whom?

Clients hire you as an independent contractor. Both parties can end the working relationship at any time. The time clocked during the active transaction will be charged and paid. HappyTask facilitates the marketing, booking, and payment process of this transaction for both independent parties.

How will I know when I am requested for a project?

You will be notified via email, text, and app notifications. Job details will appear on your account once you’ve logged in.

When should I, or my Team, arrive on a Project?

Arrive at least 5 minutes early. For first-time clients, arrive 10 minutes early to meet your Client and prepare yourself. Notify the client immediately if running late.

Are Service Providers or Teams insured?

Providers are personally responsible for any work-related injuries while performing the service. Service Providers may purchase worker’s compensation insurance for themselves, but it is not required.

Will my payments be secure?

Your payments will be fully secure! HappyTask processes all financial transaction through industry-leading payment technology and services on Stripe, using a SSL encrypted, PCI-compliant system. This is the same technology banks use to secure your financial information.

What should I do if I need more time than was booked to complete the job?

If you can stay longer and the client agrees, continue until the service is completed. Otherwise, the client can rebook you for another day.

What should I do if something is damaged?

Inform the client immediately, take pictures of the damage, and try to resolve the issue politely and professionally between both parties. HappyTask can mediate if needed, but HappyTask isn’t responsible for damages.

What should I do if a Client says something is missing?

We encourage Clients to speak with Providers first when they suspect a missing item incase it was simply moved. If something is still believed to be stolen, we ask that Clients notify the local police and file a complaint. HappyTask can help mediate if needed, but HappyTask isn’t responsible for damaged or stolen items.
