How Same-Day Pay Works for Gig Workers
Same-day pay means you do not wait for a paycheck — your money is released the moment the job is confirmed done. Here is the mechanism that makes it fast and safe for both sides.
Funds are held the moment you are hired
When an employer hires you, their card is held for the full amount right away. That means the money is already secured before you start — you are not chasing an invoice afterward.
You carry zero float: you never front costs and wait to be reimbursed.
GPS clock-in protects both sides
You clock in on-site and the time is GPS-stamped. That protects you if there is ever a question about whether you showed up and worked, and it protects the employer against false claims.
Confirmed done means paid
When the employer confirms the job is complete, your pay is released and routed to your bank automatically — typically 1–2 business days to arrive. Chambazo never charges workers a payout fee, so you keep 100% of the posted rate plus 100% of any tip.
