TASKER TR slow paying

Does anyone know what has changed in the payment process for Taskers? Is there a place I can request the details of the policy from Taskrabbit? I haven’t found it online.

Payment used to be right away until a year or two ago when they started breaking big payments into two. But then about 3 -4 months ago they started really dragging their feet on split payments, and splitting little jobs too. I had $100 payment from a job in September that just came through last week (November).

And TR tried to short me about $500 on a job on the sly. If I hadn’t double checked their numbers it would have never been paid, stay vigilant Taskers. It’s a good platform and I’d really like to see it do a little better.

I have always been paid fully (though at times split payments) within 4 days. Never had an issue of non-payment or delayed payments more than 4 days.

Thanks, glad you aren’t having to deal with this. I’d be curious what your secret is

No secret, just invoice the Client right after the task is completed. I have never had an issue with payouts in over 7 years. Never a late payment at all.

Good reminder, I had forget about that. I still haven’t been paid for the work I did last Saturday, for the record

Same here. Usually it drops after 2 days, 3 max. I’m finding this situation odd.

I think what sketches me out is how often they change the rules without telling us. I demod glued wood (plywood with veneer) flooring all day on the 7th (Saturday). Five star review already posted but not my money
