What happens if my Instawork Pro account is deactivated?

Updated this week

When your Instawork Pro account is deactivated, you will no longer be able to access shifts through the Instawork app. This article explains what deactivation means and what you should know if this happens.

Understanding account deactivation

Account deactivation means your access to the Instawork platform has been permanently removed. While this rarely happens, certain exceptions apply where appeals or reactivation may be possible, particularly under specific circumstances such as clarifications or evident mistakes.

Important things to know

  • After deactivation, you will not be able to book any more shifts on the Instawork platform.

  • Do not create a new account. Creating a second account after deactivation is against Instawork's policies. Any new accounts will be flagged as duplicates and will also be deactivated.

Common reasons for deactivation

Accounts may be deactivated for several reasons, including:

  • Policy violations

  • No-shows to booked shifts

  • Violating Instawork's Community Guidelines

  • Creating duplicate accounts

  • Providing false information- High frequency of no-shows or late cancellations

  • Low ratings from partners or other professionals

  • Violations of the Contractor Service Agreement

What to do if you believe there was an error

If you believe your account was deactivated by mistake, you can initiate an appeal through the Instawork app. Navigate to the 'Appeal' option displayed alongside the deactivation reason and provide a detailed explanation. Submit relevant documentation like proof of emergencies or timestamped attendance confirmations to support your case. Upon submission, track the status of your appeal through app updates or email communications from Instawork.
