Cancellations
Zero-risk bookings, with fair rules if plans change
Pending jobs that are never confirmed auto-cancel 3 hours before start with no charge. Once a booking is confirmed, you can cancel free until 4 hours before the job start time. Inside that window a late fee may apply for worker travel and reserved time.
If a worker does not arrive, the job is cancelled, any hold on your card is released, and both sides are notified so you can rebook. On the worker side, late cancels and no-shows are tracked through Yellow, Purple, and Red cards.
Extra Time
Need a job extended? Add Extra Time in seconds.
Add 30 to 180 minutes directly in the app while a shift is active. Extensions are charged transparently to your card using the worker's hourly rate, immediately updating their scheduled end time. More detail is in Client Help: Money.
-

-

-
Paid minutes only
Only paid Extra Time moves the official end time for the job.
-
Pay before final pay
Unpaid Extra Time shows as Pay Extra Time on the command card before final job pay.
How money moves
How billing works
When you book, we place a temporary hold on your card. You are only charged once the job is done. When you save a card, JobZapp places a small R1 hold and then reverses it.
If the job finishes early, your worker logs the exact time and you only pay for the hours used.
If you need more time, add 30 to 180 minutes in the app while the job is active. Extra Time is billed as a separate card charge. Tips are optional and go 100% to the worker. When the job is done, an invoice is emailed to your registered address. There is no cash on site, which supports safer hiring. For the full money guide, see Money & fees in Client Help. For the full booking lifecycle, see how JobZapp works.
FAQ
Pricing questions
-
Can I see the price before I sign up?
Yes. You can start as a guest, build a draft, see the estimate, and only create an account when you are ready to Book. Shortlisted workers are not notified until you Post.
-
What is the booking fee?
About 20% of the job cost is included in the estimate. It funds vetting, GPS oversight, and support.
-
What happens if I need to cancel?
Zero-risk bookings. Pending jobs that are never confirmed auto-cancel 3 hours before start with no charge. Once confirmed, cancel free until 4 hours before start. Inside that window a late fee may apply for worker travel and reserved time.
-
Do I tip or pay cash on the day?
No cash is needed. A card hold secures Book, and you pay in the app after clock-out. Tips are optional and go 100% to the worker. Extra Time is a separate paid extension that you also approve in the app. When you save a card, JobZapp places a small R1 hold and then reverses it.
-
What is Extra Time?
If work is still Busy, approve 30 to 180 minutes in the app and pay Extra Time as its own card debit. It does not change the booking hold. Only paid Extra Time extends the official end, and any unpaid Extra Time must be settled before final job pay.
-
Will I receive an invoice?
Yes. An invoice is emailed when the job is done. Extra Time has its own receipt when it is paid.
