Get started with Bluecrew

At Employbridge, we will advocate for you on the job and support you in advancing your career through training and upskilling. When we start working with you, we strive to get to know you in meaningful ways. Our goal is to get a clear understanding of your needs and priorities, so we can match you in jobs where you thrive. When you choose to work jobs through the Bluecrew app, you get even more benefits like On Demand Pay, paid sick leave and access to the Bluecrew Rewards program.

Create an account in minutes and start searching for jobs. Once you download the Bluecrew app, new job assignments will be sent automatically to your phone. Once you find a job you want, submit the required documentation and complete the steps required for onboarding.

For many jobs, you can confirm the job you’ve selected as soon as you complete the onboarding process. Other jobs require an application. These tend to be jobs lasting three months or longer and some require a specific skill, such as data entry, inventory checking, or operating a forklift. If a job requires an application, you’ll see an “apply now” button to continue the process.

Bluecrew was acquired by Employbridge in 2022, so you’ll be an Employbridge employee.

You’ll be eligible for W-2 protections such as overtime pay and workers’ compensation coverage. You can opt-in to into American Worker benefits, including insurance plans for medical, dental, and vision once you start working your first shift. You don’t have access to these benefits and protection as an independent contractor.

Our onboarding process includes a background check and E-Verify verification. Some jobs require a drug screen. For E-Verify, you’ll need to provide acceptable IDs including a photo ID (a driver's license, government ID, military card) AND a document that establishes employment authorization, such as a Social Security card, birth certificate, or employment documentation.

With the Bluecrew app, you have the option to receive a check by mail or direct deposit to your checking account. Bluecrew pays weekly and offers a benefit called On Demand Pay, which allows you to access your weekly earnings days before payday.

You can opt-in to into American Worker benefits, including insurance plans for medical, dental, and vision once you start working your first shift. If you average 30 or more hours during your first four to six weeks, you’ll be offered a comprehensive benefits plan on the 90th day that includes health insurance, dental benefits, and options for retirement savings. You’ll also have access to free mental health, financial, and legal consultations and can earn bonuses after people you refer to Employbridge or the Bluecrew app work for us. If you apply through the Bluecrew platform, you may be eligible for additional benefits, including On Demand Pay, paid sick time, and our Bluecrew Rewards program.

W-2s will be mailed to the address you have on file, postmarked by January 31 each year. If you have not received your W-2 by February 10, please use the Help tab in your app to contact support. If your current address is not up to date on your app, write in to change it.

W-2s may also be accessed electronically. For 2021 and beyond W-2s, use Paylocity's Self Service Portal to download W-2s from 2021 or later.

If you still have W-2 questions, please reference our W-2 information page or contact us.

If you haven’t received a payroll email, please make sure that your email address is entered correctly on the app. In addition, please check your spam folder and promotions tab (on Gmail). If you notice your email is incorrect, you can change it in the Account page in the Bluecrew app.

You can continue to receive your payment through your existing pay card after you onboard with Bluecrew. You will just need to use your pay card’s reference number. It’s a nine-digit number that’s different from the number that appears on your pay card.
