Keep everything on SideJobWorks
Only chats, files and confirmations on SideJobWorks count as evidence if something goes wrong. If someone pushes you to WhatsApp, Telegram or email early, be careful.
Agree on stages before starting
Use a staged payment plan with a small deposit. Freelancers: don't send final files before the last stage is paid. Clients: don't pay a stage before you've seen the work for it.
Never pay to get a job
No real client asks for a registration fee, training fee or deposit from a freelancer. Report it straight away.
Protect your accounts
Never share passwords, one-time codes or banking logins. SideJobWorks will never ask you for them.
Use the record
Mark payments with a transfer reference, attach receipts, and describe each delivery when you request a stage. If something goes wrong, open an issue from the Project Tracker.
Report problems
Use the Report link on any job, profile, message or review. Safety reports go to the top of our queue.
