Theyre liars and scammers

The number provided for this company is a Google Voice number. A whole corporation running off a Google Voice number, that tells you all of it!

This company has screwed me over for the last time. A class action lawsuit needs to be filed against them ASAP! I showed up to work at a Circle K that doesn't have an oven, and they stopped using Shiftsmart. These fools still send people to these places.

I show up, I stay on site the full two hours, and these people deny my pay. Time to be sued; I'm done with these idiots.

World's worst company. Google Voice for your main number, what a joke.

Horrible AI CUSTOMER SERVICE SUPPORT

2 supporters

Incorrect payments for shifts worked. Technical issues on the app that prevent login and location.

Several tickets I submitted are all ignored with no feedback.

Don't promote me as a primary partner, then start playing with my shift payments. I'm an employment paralegal as well, and this situation is about to turn legal.

You guys keep sending me to the same store and keep repeating the same steps, but I cant get to any product if its all wrapped in in the very back the products that youre asking me to put on the shelf cannot be done. Someone needs to come rearrange this situation.

This is unsatisfactory

Preferred solution: Pepsi products need to deliver better! Product that are important can’t be reached, walking back and forth with no success in production isn’t helpful

Updated by user Aug 09, 2026

Issue resolved. Documentation is key and never allow them to falsely accuse.

Original review Jul 25, 2026
Hello,
I am following up regarding tickets #308****, #308****, and #308****. My tickets continue to be closed as "resolved," but this issue has not been resolved.

I have still not been paid for either completed shift, nor have I received any meaningful update.
The unpaid completed shifts are: $19.50 for the Bin Prep shift on Saturday, July 25, from 6:30 AM to 8:00 AM at 5605 4th Street NW, Albuquerque, NM 87107. $18.75 for the Bin Prep shift on Saturday, July 25, from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM at 9508 2nd Street NW, Albuquerque, NM 87114.
Total amount owed: $38.25.
I dispute the determination that I did not report to these shifts. I was physically present at both locations, checked in through the app, followed the instructions given to me by store management, completed the work requested, and documented everything with photos.

My attendance and completed work can be verified through GPS records, ShiftSmart app data, timestamps, communication logs, check in and check out records, and photographic evidence.
Closing my tickets as "resolved" without investigating the evidence or issuing payment does not resolve the matter. This is now the fourth time I have experienced payment issues after completing assigned work, and I am requesting that this be escalated immediately.
Please provide a written explanation for why payment has been denied despite the available evidence, confirm that all related tickets have been linked together, and advise when I can expect payment for my completed shifts totaling $38.25.
I expect a prompt response and resolution.

Shiftsmart - Not being paid on a regular schedule
Shiftsmart - Not being paid on a regular schedule - Image 2

This is my third review about Shift Smart. Everything works perfect if there are no issues.

Like today, I woke up at 3:30 AM for a shift. I got there, and the store was closed. I sent in pictures; GPS showed I was on the property, and now I'm dealing with them not paying me or saying I will get paid, just needs reviewed. I didn't do all that to wait three days for 40 freaking bucks.

Then when you message them and let them know everything, it's like they don't even read it. They just respond back, so not only did it take them forever to reach back out to me, when they do, I pretty much have to start from scratch like they don't know anything. I had to ask them if they actually read what I said or just responded, and now here I am waiting; it's already been 8 hours. I should not have to wait to get paid; that's the whole point of the website if you need extra money.

I don't try to go do a job and wait three days to get paid from it when I'm supposed to get paid within the hour.

I really do like the website, but they definitely need to fix some stuff in their system because nobody goes to a job they're supposed to get paid for within the hour; instead, they have to wait days. Like, what!

Loss:
$40

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: If you do use the site just know that if you run into a problem that problem extends for long periods of time.

Withholding pay!

Original review Apr 24, 2026

This is the second time I went to a store at 4:30 am and they have a sign up saying store is closed... I bang on the door several times and no answer.

I'm always on time with no issues until now. Them not trusting the pictures of proof is not okay! They refused to pay me so I'm canceling my shifts! Stay away!

MY FIRST INITIAL TIME WORKING THIS STORE 924 highway 85 I had to do the same bang on door but they actually opened the door. I'm feeling racism and control issues let's not forget sexism!

Loss:

Pros:
  • At first they seem legit
Cons:
  • But once employees locked the door and have a sign up saying there closed over and over again but they still post shift and are aware of this then call you a liar and reject your pay i had to cancel my last two shifts at that store because i dont feel saf

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Stay away they will not trust your proof or pay you and you will only speak to an awful AI.

Money owed for almost a month

So I was contacted by *** payroll investigators and *** told to reach out to the managers at the locations And have the manager reach out to *** to prove I showed up to the shift . Had to reread the email to ensure I read it right I didn’t know I was notes on corporate payroll .

That’s above my parade to be fair and wtf what are they doing along me to do their job??? Get out together there is no other way for us to verify the shift through the platform, we will need written confirmation from the store manager stating that you either worked the shift or were turned away upon arrival.The email should include the store number/location, date of the shift, and confirmation of what occurred.We will attempt to contact the store manager to confirm as well.

Once the manager confirms you were turned away, the rejections will be overturned and approved for payment to be issued.We appreciate your patience.Best,The Shiftsmart TeamReply.ForwardFrom Shiftsmartthere is no other way for us to verify the shift through the platform, we will need written confirmation from the store manager stating that you either worked the shift or were turned away upon arrival.The email should include the store number/location, date of the shift, and confirmation of what occurred.We will attempt to contact the store manager to confirm as well.

Failure to pay wages

Shiftsmart - Failure to pay wages - Image 2

I scheduled a shift today. For cleaner.

From 1:00 p.m to 5:00p.m. I arrived on time, and was told by the manager upon clocking in that he had already cancelled the shift. I wasted 16 miles worth of gas. And my time.

I did report the turn away and got the code from the same manager to clock out. Now youre not paying me for the shift?

Thats fine. Ive forwarded your denial for lies to my lawyer and I am in the process of filing a labor board claim with my state for withholding my wages illegally.

I am upset with you all because you all canceled my shifts and all I did was try to schedule more shifts for me. This is crazy that I can't even talk to you all about the problems I have with this app. You all really need to get it figured out, that is for sure.

I still haven't gotten paid from yesterday. I sent multiple emails and multiple support tickets about everything I did and everything I couldn't do.

The only thing I couldn't do was prep hot dogs and taquitos because that store location does not prep hot dogs or taquitos.

I sent a picture, and I emailed a picture too, and I still haven't gotten paid yet. I canceled every shift today because I'm not making a commute that's not reliable or dependable.

Standing outside my job before my shift logged me out and banned me. I have a perfect 109 percent on time, 94 percent reliability, and you ban me from shift 15?

Not getting paid for a shift on 04/27/2026

AI Highlights
  • - The app isn't working; I sent photos multiple times with no response.
  • - The referral reward and the $150 bonus from Dollar General haven't been paid.

Performed 1st shift for the company. Their app was not working.

I took all my pics and have sent them numerous times with no response at all, and this has been going on since April 27, 2026. Also, a referral reward hasn't been paid for my first referral, and she has completed more than 3 shifts, and I'm still not paid from that. Then my $150 bonus from working at Dollar General in 3 shifts hasn't been paid, and since they have ignored my 4/27/2026 shift with Dollar General, they didn't pay my bonus.

Imagine that! They just try to get away with it.

Still not one email or call in regards to settling this issue. I feel it is time to not just file a class action against this company but this is also classified as a RECO CASE!!! THEY WILL REALLY BE PAYING THEM.

I just want to get paid for what I've done, and I never missed my shift or canceled the shift unless I really needed to. I just want to get paid for the job that I did.

I have never had any issues with my payment or logging in like this. I just want to get paid for the jobs that I'm doing, and I don't know why it's logging me out or it's saying that I'm not showing up for my shift when I definitely am. If you please contact the people that work at the office or speak to the manager, anybody will tell you that I work very hard, and I don't want to lose any shifts because your app is not working correctly. I want to keep working as many shifts as I can; this is my side job.

I just want my money. I've never had an issue until recently with logging in and saying that I haven't made my shift. If you look at my numbers, you can see I'm always on 98 or 99%. I'm a hard worker, and I work well with others.

I just want to get paid. It keeps saying that I'm not showing up for my shifts, but I'm there at the shift, and then it tells me my shift was canceled even after I already worked it, and it won't let me log in. I just need somebody to call the store and ask, 'Was she there?' I promise you everyone there will tell you that I've always worked my shift and that I'm a hard worker. I don't know why it's saying that I'm not coming to my shifts, and that's making me not get shifts because how can I work if it says that I'm no call, no show, which is not true at all?

The screenshots are from March 16th, 2026. It says that I was at the shift. I tried to put the code in that the manager gave me, but it kept saying that I wasn't on the shift. Even though it says that I'm there, it still told the app that I didn't show up, and the app says that because I didn't show up, I got canceled, and that is not the case.

I can prove it for this shift but not for March 9th. But if you call the store manager, she will tell you the same thing happened on March 9th. Something has been going on every time I go to log in or check in with the code; it doesn't work, it freezes the screen. Every time I go to clock in, I don't know why.

Please help. I'm just trying to get my pay. I'm a single mom, I need my money, and I work very hard for it. Thank you.

I hope that we can resolve this issue or if there's something I can do. Every time I go to check in, I can send a code or you can call the store or something because I'm scheduled for future shifts, but I don't want to work them because I don't want to not get paid for them because your app is saying that I'm not there, and it's not letting me log in, and so it's canceling the shifts, saying the shifts never existed when in fact I have been scheduled for all of those shifts. It even says on my phone, 'Get ready for your shift,' and then it cancels, and then it cancels my money, which is crazy because I worked for both of those shifts, full shifts, and I still got paid nothing. I got paid $19, which is ridiculous when the shift was $65, and I usually get paid about $65.75 because I work hard.

I'm a hard worker. I clock in and I clock out. I don't know how to resolve this issue, but I do want my money, and I would love to understand why they're saying that I'm not there when the app says you are on time for your shift, and you go to log in and then it doesn't let you, but then cancels. So, is your location not working?

Or is something wrong with the app, or do I need to do something to prevent this from happening in the future?

Please let me know. Thank you.
