LABR 4+

The Labr app has been a super helpful app for me to make money on the side while pursuing my goals in college. I’m able to sign up for a job the night before, work the next day, then get paid within the next few days. The app makes it super simple and the pay is great!

Even though you have to attest in the app that you’re available on that shift, LABR does not guarantee it to you even after you’re hired for it! They will bump you off a job after they hire you for it. I had a week of work lined up in the app and after the first day on the job (which went great) they bumped me off the list and said the client requested fewer people the next day. And I know it wasn’t my job performance because both times the supervisor specifically came to me and said they approved of my work and wanted me to come back. The second time the Forman TOLD ME TO COME BACK but LABR told me not to.

If LABR wants workers to lock in a workday, they should guarantee that day to the gig worker. I lined up and prepaid childcare that I am now out. LABR is now costing me money! Great idea but it’s not worth it unless they guarantee you a shift after they’ve been hired. They shouldn’t allow their clients to change the amount of workers after they’ve already requested it.

This app is super convenient for college students when we are in need of some extra cash. It is definitely convenient to be able to pick a job the day or two before and get paid right after.
