Welcome to Worksome! 👋
We’re excited to have you on board as one of your client’s Trusted Contacts! Worksome is your client’s platform of choice for hiring, classifying, and paying external workers all in one place.
For specific setup guides, you can check out the following guides:
Getting Started
Accepting Your Invitation
You’ll receive an email with a link to join Worksome. Simply click the link and set up your password. This, along with your email address, will serve as your login details.
Complete Your Profile
To start working with your client, ensure you fill out the required compliance details:
Full Name
Address
Local Business Entity Information (if applicable)
Choosing the Right Market
Your market is determined based on the country you select during signup. If you’re located in one of Worksome’s active markets (e.g., the U.S., U.K., Denmark, France, Germany), your account will automatically be set to that market.
If you’re in a market where Worksome isn’t live yet:
Choose the market where your client is based, or
Select a market aligned with your preferred currency (e.g., EUR).
💡 Important: In non-active markets, you will be paid gross, and it’s your responsibility to report income as per your local regulations.
Compliance Requirements
VAT Information
If you’re asked to provide a VAT number, this will be used for adding the number to your Worksome invoices.
If you don’t have a business entity set up, fill out your compliance details in the platform to enable contract signing with your client.
U.S.-Based Clients
If your client is based in the U.S. and you are not, complete and upload the W-8BEN form to your account. For help, refer to this guide.
Payment Details
Adding Bank Account Information
🔴 Important: Using WISE or a similar electronic money account, not a regulated business bank account
To make sure payments run smoothly and meet regulatory standards, to avoid compliance risks, freelancers should provide only local business bank account details.
Worksome supports payments to most countries. However, if your country’s bank details aren’t supported please share the following details with our support team (use chat or email hello@worksome.com):
Bank name
Bank country
Beneficiary name
Account Number
IBAN/SWIFT
Intermediary bank (if applicable)/any other information needed for international bank transfer)
We’ll ensure you’re set up for manual payments through our secure process.
Payment Approval Process
When you request a payment:
Submit a payment request via the platform.
Your client approves the payment.
Check your contract terms to see the payment due date.
Once a payout is initiated, we’ll notify you by email.
Receive the funds in your bank account within 0–3 business days (depending on your location).

What Does "Awaiting Approval" Mean?
If your profile status says "Awaiting Approval," don’t worry— this relates to the optional marketplace feature and doesn’t affect your ability to get paid.
When you set your Worksome profile, there is a Visibility settings:
If you select it, it means that you would like to apply for jobs in the marketpace. Before you can apply, our team reviews your profile and in case anything is missing, you will see the message "We have not approved your profile yet".
To be hired and paid, just complete the necessary compliance settings (e.g., business details, name, address). Being visible in the Marketplace is an optional feature. If you wish to join the marketplace, additional details will be required. Learn more here.
💡Optional: If you don’t wish to join our marketplace, you can skip adding your CV, skills, or portfolio. These are only necessary if you choose to explore Worksome’s talent network.
