Commission, surcharges and travel
Sunworker retains a commission of 15% of your pay for work and surcharges, 10% from Level 2 and 8% from Level 3; you receive travel without any deduction.
The commission
The commission is the fee for the placement. It is calculated on the order value — work and surcharges — never on travel, and it is offset against your payout. For each shift you receive a commission invoice. The key figures:
- Venue service fee (of the order value)
- 15%
- Professional’s commission
- 15%
- Commission from Level 2
- 10%
- Commission from Level 3
- 8%
- Clearing after the booking
- 72 hours
What counts is your commission level when the invoice is issued. Venues do not see your commission. They in turn pay a service fee to Sunworker, which is not deducted from you.
Surcharges
You set the surcharges for nights, Sundays and public holidays yourself in your terms. They are part of your pay. If several apply, the highest counts. Night work runs from 23:00 to 06:00; public holidays are the nationwide statutory holidays. Sunworker suggests:
- Night work (11 pm–6 am)
- + 25%
- Sunday
- + 50%
- Public holiday
- + 100%
Suggested by the platform. Professionals set their own surcharges; if several apply, the highest one counts — they are not added together.
Travel
Travel is reimbursement of costs: flat rate, ticket or mileage, as set in your terms. It appears as a separate line on your invoice, and Sunworker takes no commission on it. With mileage, the distance Sunworker estimated at the time of the request counts: you may bill less, but not more.
How your payout is made up
Your payout is the amount of your invoice minus commission. Under each invoice Sunworker shows you the breakdown: invoice amount, commission with rate and commission invoice number, payout. If you are VAT-registered, the VAT is included in the invoice amount; you file and pay it yourself.
Sunworker bears the payment service provider’s fees. There is no faster payout for a surcharge. You can see your commission and the payout in the shift in advance.
