How Syftia works
From job to payment. One shared record.
One personal account, eight steps from published job to confirmed payment — one record both sides can read.
Every screen below is an illustrative demo — not real company data.
- Step 1Company
A Company publishes the job
Published from a Company workspace you own or are authorised to use. Date, hours and rate are shown only to the people that Company chooses: its invited contractors, its approved pool or named individuals.

Contractor applies from their personal account
People the job is shared with apply as themselves. The Company chooses who is accepted — nobody is assigned automatically.

Booking joins one shared schedule
The confirmed job appears on the contractor's personal schedule and in the Company workspace, and later changes update for both sides.

Company pays and records it as sent
The Company pays the contractor directly: by card on Stripe's own page where the contractor offers it, otherwise outside Syftia. Syftia keeps the record — it is not a transfer.

What Syftia does, what it does not do, and how the shared record works.
What is Syftia?
Syftia is a shared operational record for a company and the self-employed contractors it works with: jobs, scheduling, attendance, hours, approval, contractor invoices and payment status in one place both sides can see. Syftia is software — it is not the employer.
Who is Syftia for?
Companies that engage self-employed contractors for shift-based work, and those contractors. It is not designed for PAYE payroll, umbrella arrangements or agency supply.
Is Syftia an employment agency?
No. Each company manages relationships with its own contractors. Syftia does not supply, place or assign labour, and does not act as an agency or intermediary.
How do companies add contractors?
A company invites the contractors it already works with. The invite code is single-use and expires after an hour, so only people the company invited can join its network.
Do I need separate accounts for my own work and for a Company?
No. One personal Syftia account lets you find and apply for Jobs and, where you own a Company or have been given permission, manage that Company workspace. Personal and Company activity stay separate: you switch workspace to choose which one you are acting in, and each Company only sees what relates to its own work.
How does job booking work?
The company publishes a job with its date, hours and rate. Contractors in that company's network can apply in one tap, and the company decides who is accepted. Nobody is assigned automatically. Once accepted, the confirmed job appears on both schedules.
How are working hours recorded and approved?
The contractor clocks in and out from their phone, and Syftia keeps scheduled, actual and payable hours separate. The company reviews the record and approves the payable hours. Syftia stores what was recorded; it does not independently verify that the work took place.
How do invoices work?
Approved work becomes a numbered invoice that the contractor issues to the company, and the company receives and reviews it. Issued invoices cannot be edited — corrections are new documents. Syftia never invoices on the contractor's behalf.
Does Syftia process or hold payments?
Syftia never holds your money. Companies pay contractors directly. Where card payment is offered, Stripe takes it on its own hosted page and it settles to the contractor's own Stripe account; otherwise the company pays outside Syftia and records it. Syftia records the payment states both sides report.
What is the difference between “Payment sent” and “Payment received”?
“Payment sent” is the company recording that it has sent the payment. “Payment received” is the contractor confirming the money arrived, and only that confirmation closes the record as paid.
Can both sides see the same work record?
Both sides see the same job, hours, approval and invoice history for the work they share, so there is one agreed sequence of events. Role and account permissions still apply, so private or internal details are not visible to everyone.
How is access to company and contractor information controlled?
Access follows your account and its permissions: you see your own personal work, plus only the Company workspaces you own or have been given access to, with the records your permissions allow. Company workspaces are kept separate from each other. Traffic is served over HTTPS. We hold no security certifications today, and we say so plainly.
