Service Features

Secure Payments with WorkSafe™

At WorkPlaces, we have implemented WorkSafe™ Guarantee, a secure escrow system that underpins trust and reliability in financial transactions on our platform. This secure mechanism ensures that payments are held in WorkSafe until the agreed-upon services have been satisfactorily delivered. This added layer of protection instills confidence in both clients and freelancers, minimizing financial risks associated with service engagement.

User Verification

We are committed to fostering an environment of trust and credibility on our platform. To this end, we have implemented a user verification feature. It is crucial to understand that, while we provide this feature, we cannot offer an unqualified guarantee regarding the accuracy or reliability of user-provided required documents and information. User verifications are designed to offer an additional level of assurance but should not replace your due diligence when selecting collaborators.

In line with our commitment to flexibility and transparency, users have the option to negotiate hourly rates for services. The tracking of actual hours worked can be meticulously managed through the utilization of third-party tools, subject to the agreement of both parties—namely, the talent and the client. This system provides a clear and equitable framework for tracking and compensating work conducted on an hourly basis, ensuring fair and transparent payment practices.
