Frequently asked questions

Who is the extra's employer?

In Network mode, we are: a personnel placement agency with a CNESST licence. In My extras team mode, your business is. In both cases, the extra gets a wage and the protections of the Act respecting labour standards.

What does it really cost?

In Network mode you pay an all-in rate: the worker's wage + employer costs (approx.) + a 25% service fee. Example: 4 h at 20$ = 80.00$ wage + 14.16$ employer costs = 94.16$, plus a 23.54$ service fee, for 117.70$ before tax. 4 h minimum billed per shift, and +2$/h if the shift starts in under 4 h. My extras team: free up to 10 extras, then 49$/month. Workers never pay anything.

What if someone does not show up?

We look for a replacement right away. The exact terms are shown before your first shift. An extra who does not show up without notice gets a warning in our system.

When do extras get paid?

Fast, once you approve the hours. If you do not approve them within 24 h, they are approved automatically. No more waiting 2 to 3 weeks.

Can I hire an extra I like directly?

Yes. After 6 months of working together, you can hire them directly at no cost. You can also add them to your My extras team list right now.

Is my data in Canada?

Yes. Data is hosted in Canada. We follow Law 25: minimal collection, clear consent, access and deletion rights, and a named privacy officer.

Do I need a selfie to be verified?

No. We check your ID document, front and back, with no selfie. A person on our team reviews it by hand. The selfie comes later, after notice to the Commission d'accès à l'information.

Is the app available in English?

Yes. The interface and notifications are available in French and English. You can switch language at any time.

Tonight, you won't be short anyone.
