Regulations we keep you aligned with
State gig-economy statutes
California (Prop 22), Washington, and Massachusetts impose specific screening cadence and re-screening obligations for app-based drivers.
FCRA + state mini-FCRAs
Independent-contractor screening is still a consumer report under the FCRA — full disclosure, authorization, and adverse-action workflows apply.
Local marketplace ordinances
Cities like NYC, Chicago, and Seattle layer additional driver-screening, licensing, and notice rules on top of state law.
Gig screening FAQ
How fast can a worker complete onboarding?+
Identity verification + consent typically completes in under 3 minutes on mobile. Most criminal and MVR results return same-day for the worker to begin earning.
Do you support continuous criminal monitoring?+
Yes. Workers are enrolled in ongoing arrest- and conviction-record monitoring with real-time alerts routed to your trust & safety team.
Can we re-screen on a recurring cadence?+
Yes. Annual or semi-annual re-screens can be auto-initiated by worker tenure or by jurisdictional rule (e.g., California Prop 22 driver re-screening).
Is your platform API-first?+
Yes. Every action — invite, status, decision, adverse-action — is exposed via REST + webhooks; many marketplaces never log in to the dashboard.
