Do not work for them. They will not pay you!

Unpaid wages for completed shifts — support goes in circles Worked three shifts through Instawork (event server, Deloitte Vancouver via Sodexo) on May 20, 21, and 28, 2026 — total $558.44. The app marks all three as “paid,” but no funds ever arrived in my bank account. Over several weeks of contacting support, I was given at least three different explanations: payment “processed via ADP” on two separate dates, and a payment supposedly “issued via cheque.” None of it showed up, confirmed by my bank statement. Tickets were repeatedly closed and reopened by different agents with no resolution. A formal written demand for payment sent June 22 went unanswered past its deadline. I’ve now filed with the BC Employment Standards Branch and the Civil Resolution Tribunal. If you’re considering gig work through this platform, be aware payment issues appear to be a recurring problem, not a one-off.

I like it very much I think they could have more regular shifts there was like a few weeks where nothing was available and also the last 3 shifts I worked there was no one there and the app I messaged and they had me sir there 3 or 4 hours the first time 7 the second time today I left at hour 3 before today when I would message somebody on the app I had responses back very close to immediately today after they assigned me someone they sent me one message and told me I was clocked in and then they never responded to me again and I texted like at least 10 or 15 times and it did not get not one response back and that was super very frustrating

Workers willing to help.

Great working hours and pay for anyone looking for extra work

Instawork is a reliable APP for gigwork. The job descriptions are straightforward and the pay is fair. Never had a bad experience Instawork.

Shitty management, with a false and disruptive "top pro" system that violates human rights and labor laws. Do not join unless you are a POS.

Overall the app is great and the job are great as well but I am not a fan of the AI chat bots when a problem is encountered.
