How the weekly cycle works

Your shift hours are logged as you work them through the week. Cross KSh 500 total, and on Friday the full amount is sent automatically to whichever you've set as your payout method โ€” M-Pesa or Airtel Money. No manual withdrawal request needed.

๐Ÿงพ

How you know it actually landed

The moment your Friday payout clears, Safaricom or Airtel sends a confirmation SMS straight to your phone โ€” that message is your proof, and it comes from their own system, not ours.

Why some weeks pay more than others

Your total depends on how many shifts you take and which categories they're in. A week mixing a couple of night shifts with regular day shifts adds up faster than day shifts alone โ€” your dashboard always shows a running total so you're never guessing.
