Hyer offers both 1099 independent contractor tasks and W-2 employment opportunities.
For W-2 tasks, Hyer provides the platform where Taskers can find and apply for work. W-2 Taskers are employees of Ascen, Hyer’s Employer of Record, and Ascen manages onboarding, payroll, tax withholding, and eligible employee benefits.
How Do I Apply for W2 Tasks?
To get started:
- Find a task labeled W2.
- Review and acknowledge the W2 information shown in the app.
- Apply for the task.
- If the Customer selects you, follow the prompts to begin your onboarding with Ascen.
- Complete all Ascen onboarding requirements before the deadline shown in the app, including completing Ascen's background check (which is separate from a 1099 background check for 1099 tasks through Hyer).
Applying for or being selected for a W2 task does not mean you are scheduled or approved to work. You may work on the task only after completing all requirements, and your task status changes to Scheduled.

What do I Need to Enroll as a W2 Tasker?
- Be at least 18 years of age.
- Pass a background check.
- The legal ability to work within the United States without sponsorship.
- Complete an I-9 form with Ascen.
- Have an I-9 Authorized Representative that Ascen will contact to confirm your identity.
- Setting up your payment method with Ascen. (W2 tasks do not have funds go to Stripe, but are processed through payroll with Asecn; see this article.)
- Set up your tax withholdings through Ascen.
- Must have a working cell phone with an active data plan and the ability to connect with WiFi to work tasks.
How Are W-2 Taskers Paid?
W-2 wages are processed through Ascen—not Stripe. After you complete a task and the Customer approves it, the task is added to your Ascen timesheet for payroll processing.
