Your responsibilities as a worker on Mycare

When you use Mycare to advertise your services and find work, you are doing this as an independent contractor.

As a contractor here are your responsibilities and our expectations when you use Mycare. 

Your responsibilities: 

  • On Mycare, you are an independent contractor. We provide tools and support to make this simple for you. 
  • For all work found through Mycare, you agree to be paid using Mycare's secure online payment tools. This is how we maintain a safe, quality service and ensure you get paid every week. 
  • There is a 5% platform fee on your paid hours. ​​​​​This allows us to provide you with insurance, access to the platform and jobs, and all the scheduling & management tools. 
  • We deduct a minimum 10% withholding tax on your behalf (you may increase this if you choose). This is to assist you so you don’t have a big tax bill at the end of the year.  (please keep in mind that your actual tax to pay may vary depending on all your other income, and you will need to discuss with a tax or finance professional).
