Checkr runs the check — a criminal and sex-offender search. You complete it on their secure page; BootsOnCall never sees your Social Security number or date of birth. Companies: every team member you dispatch must clear their own check.

As an independent contractor you're paid on a 1099. You are paid the amount you quoted, plus materials at cost — BootsOnCall's fee is the difference between what the customer pays and your quote, and it never comes out of your number. You're paid within 7 days after the job passes inspection — never out of pocket. Connect your bank through Stripe to receive payouts (Stripe collects your W-9 / tax info as part of setup).

Key terms: you are an independent contractor, not an employee. No jobs are guaranteed — offers come when you're matched, and you choose what to accept. You carry your own insurance, set your own schedule, and are responsible for the quality of your work.
