We’re committed to ensuring you receive your pay accurately and on time! You have two primary options:

  • Direct Deposit: This is a popular choice for many as it allows your earnings to be directly deposited into your personal bank account. It’s reliable and eliminates the need to wait for a physical check.

At Let’s Work, we understand the importance of timely compensation. For labor completed, you will be paid daily.

We believe this daily pay structure provides our employees with quick access to their earnings.

Employees will receive the necessary PPE to perform their job safely. However, all issued PPE must be returned upon completion of work or when no longer needed. If PPE is not returned, the cost of the items will be deducted from the employee’s paycheck.
