Welcome! This page summarizes the benefits available to you as a Labor That Works W2 employee, along with what you need to do or qualify for to access them. For any questions, contact Labor That Works Support through the app.
Health Insurance
What's available: Health insurance is available to eligible workers as required by law.
Unemployment Compensation
What's available: If you lose work through no fault of your own, you may be eligible for state unemployment benefits. Eligibility and benefit amounts are determined by your state agency, not Labor That Works, and vary by state.
To protect your eligibility, you must:
After finishing any assignment, immediately check the app for new available opportunities before filing for unemployment
Accept suitable work when it is offered to you — refusing available work can result in denial or interruption of benefits
Complete your assignments — failing to finish an assignment may be treated as a voluntary quit, which can disqualify you
If you stop reporting for scheduled work or do not request reassignment when suitable work is available, the state agency may determine you are not eligible for benefits
What can disqualify you:
Voluntarily quitting
Declining available work you are qualified for
Failing to complete an assignment
Stopping reporting for work without requesting reassignment
Not checking the app for new work before filing a claim
Family & Medical Leave (FMLA)
What's available: Eligible employees can take job-protected, unpaid leave for qualifying medical and family reasons.

Important Stipulations
FMLA leave is generally unpaid, though state programs may provide some compensation
Failing to return from leave without an approved extension will be treated as a voluntary resignation
Fraudulent use of FMLA will result in loss of protections and potential disciplinary action

For life-threatening emergencies, call 911 immediately
For all other injuries, notify your on-site supervisor immediately and contact Labor That Works Support via the app before seeking medical treatment. Your supervisor will have access to a 24/7 hotline from our insurer to help you start a medical claim.
Cooperate fully with any claims process and submit all requested medical documentation
Failure to promptly report an injury may affect your eligibility for benefits. Claims should be created within 24 hours of your injury and you should take a drug screen within that time to ensure you are able to get compensation.
