On Sunworker you work self-employed: you set your own hourly rate, only take the shifts that suit you and get paid after the shift.
Create your profileWhat Sunworker costsStart live demo
You decide what your work costs and which days you work. The venue pays into escrow before the job, and Sunworker can issue the invoice in your name. What is left for you is the job itself.
It is shown on your profile and is not up for negotiation. Anyone who sends you a request has seen it beforehand.
There is no rota and no obligation to accept. You see the date, time, location and pay before you accept.
The venue pays into escrow when booking. You are not working on a promise but against an amount that has been set aside.
Sunworker prepares the invoice in your name and on your behalf (invoice issued by a third party, § 14(2) sentence 4 of the German VAT Act, UStG) – or you upload your own. The payout is released as soon as the invoice is available.
From profile to first payout in four steps.
Roles, experience, languages, travel radius — and the hourly rate you set yourself.
Food hygiene certificate under § 43 IfSG, hygiene training, qualifications. Every credential has an expiry date and is checked.
You see the date, time, location and pay before you accept. You decide whether to take the shift.
Check in and out at the venue, and your payout runs automatically afterwards. The venue has already paid.
After the shift, the clearing period begins — 72 hours between completion and payout during which a dispute can still be resolved, the same on all levels. Your level only affects how high the commission is.
Venues search by role, postcode, date and credentials. On your profile they see your hourly rate, your ratings and what has been verified. What you enter in your profile — roles, travel radius, free days — decides which searches you appear in.
Learn moreThe venue sends you a specific request: day, time, place and pay are fixed before you reply. The decision is yours alone. Accepting makes the job binding; declining needs no reason.
Learn moreEvery route has its price. Here side by side, honestly – so you can decide what suits you.
If you want security and a fixed schedule.
For a few shifts alongside studies or a main job.
If you want changing venues but to stay employed.
If you want to set your own rate and days.
Rule of thumb: Self-employment pays off if your rate covers insurance, reserves and days off – so it is well above the hourly wage in employment. The guide shows how to calculate it.
Calculate your rateEvery completed job brings you closer to the next level, and the commission goes down. Clearing is the same on every level: 72 hours.
Suggested values, not requirements. You are self-employed and can agree different terms — what is set out for the shift is binding.
Sunworker checks every credential, and each one has an expiry date. Venues see on your profile what has been verified.
