How do Zone Rates work?

For each store, there is one fixed zone rate based on its distance from your home.

The zone rate is not affected by the order you make your visits or how many visits you make in one particular day.

Zone Rate Scenario

Day 1 | Driving from your home to Store A, then to Store B and back home again: Your Zone Rate for that day will be: $X + $Y

Day 2 | Driving from your home to Store A, then to Store C and back home again: Your Zone Rate for that day will be $X + $Z

The Zone Rate per store is added to your hourly base pay for in-store work.

View the breakdown between hourly pay + zone under the Earnings tab under on your ThirdChannel My Profile or from the Dashboard in the app.

Note: Remember that as a ThirdChannel Agent, you are an independent contractor and are responsible for paying any federal, state and local taxes owed on the compensation paid to you by ThirdChannel. ThirdChannel will issue you a 1099 document at the end of each calendar year to support your reporting to state and federal tax authorities required by the Internal Revenue Service.

As an independent contractor, you may be eligible to deduct expenses you incur while performing your duties for ThirdChannel (such as gas, mileage, tolls, parking, communication costs and other) so be sure to identify and track any business expenses you incur, to the extent you wish to deduct them when filing your taxes.

Information that ThirdChannel provides you is not intended as tax advice and should not be relied upon as such. We recommend you seek advice from a certified tax professional.
