By becoming a W-2 employee of Instawork affiliate Advantage Workforce Services, you will have access to all of the shifts you are used to seeing on the Instawork app, plus additional shifts offered by some our biggest Partners!
To start seeing these shifts within the app, the first thing you will need to do is complete the W-2 Onboarding process.
Once you have completed your forms, we will send an email to the person that you identified as your authorized representative to verify the do. You will also receive an email from our partner, Evident, to complete a background check, which opens up even more shifts! Once you're set up for W-2, that's it!
How do I start the onboarding?
Within the app, navigate to the profile section. Once there, scroll down to the bottom and tap on 'Get started' within the 'W-2 onboarding' section to begin the process.
What are the benefits of W-2 shifts?
You will get access to hundreds of additional shifts from new and existing Partners. MORE SHIFTS = MORE $$$

What forms will I be completing?
You will be completing all of the forms you normally would for any new job that you are starting such as an I-9 form.
