Just when you thought flexible work couldn't get any better... it did.
Hyer is thrilled to offer even more options to get to work! Along with having the option of being a 1099 Independent Contractor with Hyer, you now have the option to sign up as a W2 Tasker! 🥳
W2 Taskers are considered employees of Ascen (Hyer’s Employer of Record for W2) and are able to apply for W2 tasks on the Hyer platform.
Benefits of W2
- 🤑Payroll: Completed and approved W2 Tasks are automatically added to your timesheet (visible in your Ascen dashboard). Payroll is processed each Business Day (Monday through Friday, excluding bank holidays) at approximately 1:00-2:00 EST. Any tasks approved before that time will be included in the current day’s payroll run.
- ⚕️Benefits: As an employee of Ascen, you will have the ability to enroll in their medical, life, and disability insurance if eligible.
- 🪙 Taxes: As a W2 Tasker, you have the ability to have taxes taken out of your payouts to help when it comes time to file taxes.
How do I Sign up for W2?
- Hyer App Banner: You will see a banner at the top of the app.
- Task: W2 tasks will have a "W2" callout on the task, and if you are not yet enrolled as a W2 Tasker and apply, it will start the enrollment process.
- Once you click on either the banner or a W2 task, it will then guide you through the Ascen onboarding flow.
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.
For any questions about the I-9 process or Ascen onboarding, please contact Ascen directly by emailing them at support@ascen.com.
