How to Change My Location
Ensure accurate scheduling on RateCards by setting your location.
Accurate location settings on gig work apps like RateCards are crucial for efficient job matching, as they help connect workers with nearby gigs and send relevant notifications. This not only saves time but also increases the number of job opportunities a worker can access each day.
Additionally, precise location tracking boosts safety and accountability. It verifies that workers are present at job sites, helps prevent fraud, and allows for quick emergency response if needed. Accurate tracking also ensures fair payment by logging work hours correctly, while improving the overall user experience with real-time updates and smoother navigation. Ultimately, enabling accurate location settings benefits both workers and clients by making gig work safer, more efficient, and more reliable.
Initially during the onboarding phase you’ll be asked to ‘Enable Device Location‘ or ‘Enter Your Zip Code‘ to setup your work environment and enhance your work opportunities.

FAQ
What are the benefits of enabling device location?
When the app knows your exact location, it can connect you with nearby jobs, reducing travel time and helping you fit more gigs into your day. This also means you’ll receive notifications for jobs that are truly relevant to where you are, making your job search more effective.
How does it help with verification & accountability?
Accurate location data also plays a big role in verification and accountability. It ensures that workers are actually present at the job site when they check in, which helps prevent fraud and builds trust with clients. Real-time tracking allows both workers and clients to see the progress of tasks, providing transparency and confidence that the job is being done as promised.
Are there safety advantages?
Safety is another major benefit of enabling precise location settings. If an emergency arises, the app can quickly share your exact location with emergency services or support teams, ensuring a faster response. This feature offers peace of mind, especially when working in unfamiliar or potentially risky areas.
