General Rules & Best Practices 

Each individual business or organizer will have separate rules and procedures. Please read the business’s/organizer's own employee guidelines, policies and code of conduct.

  • Be on time. When late, contact the organizer as soon as possible through the Notify Organizer tab on the Event’s page.
  • If you are unable to work due to sickness or any other reason, contact the organizer as soon as possible through the Notify Organizer tab on the Event’s page.
  • When directed to do so, use the appropriate staff entrance as directed by the organizer.
  • If given an employee manual, please read and follow all rules and procedures.
  • In case of injury sustained while working, immediately inform the organizer and contact us at support@workbee.se.
  • Follow the business’s instructions for lunch breaks and rest, and only use the designated personnel areas for all breaks if directed to do so.
  • Record the correct hours worked by declaring that you are running late, and when you leave the event early, via the Notify Organizer tab on the Event’s page. Any discrepancies in hours worked between the Talent User and the business have to be resolved between the two parties.
  • Provide our payments partner Gigapay with your correct bank account details in order to receive payment for the hours worked. Workbee takes no responsibility for wages paid to incorrect bank accounts.
  • Talent Users may not store or transport the cash of Businesses, nor are they responsible for locking or alarming the premises in which the Business User conducts business. In the event that Talent Users are requested to perform such a task, Workbee AB holds no liability for damage or other loss thereby incurred by the Business User.
  • If a Talent User has agreed to perform a Mediated Service and is more than 60 minutes late to perform the Mediated Service at the agreed upon location, the Gig will be cancelled for that Talent User. The Business User shall not be billed for the Mediated Service of that Talent User and the Talent User shall not be compensated for the Mediated Service.
  • If a Talent User does not show up for the performance of a Mediated Service or does not show up according to the agreed time and without notification, we may close the Talent User’s account.
  • If a Talent User’s cancellations, where the Talent User has been the cancelling party, exceeds a figure of 5% of Gigs accepted during the last rolling 60 days, the Talent User's profile may be examined which may lead to a temporary suspension of the Talent User’s account.
  • As only an intermediary of services, we do not undertake and/or engage in resolving any disputes between Business Users and Talent Users. Any disputes must therefore be resolved directly between Users, without our involvement. Business Users reserve the right to adjust and attest to the hours worked by the Talent User up to 12 hours after Gig completion. The Talent User has 10 days from Gig completion to contact the Business User if they disagree over hours worked and attested. If disputes are left unresolved, please contact support@workbee.se for further assistance.
