Home to stunning gulf beaches, the world’s longest continuous sidewalk (who knew!), and a growing community of Solopreneurs—we’re welcoming Tampa, Florida as our next Pay Guarantee metro! With Solo’s Pay Guarantee now launched in Tampa, Orlando, and Miami, Florida has the largest Solo Pay Guarantee coverage in the nation.

So, Why Florida?

Florida’s state-wide minimum wage is just $10—a low number especially when the current national average gas price per gallon is just under half that. This is where we come in! We’ve seen our Florida Solopreneurs earn an average of $20/hr in 2021—double the statewide minimum wage in Florida. Solo’s app maximizes your take-home pay by seamlessly managing your 1099 income, mileage, and taxes all in one place as well as creating your optimal work schedule that Solo guarantees.

Florida So Far

January

We got the chance to head to Miami at the end of January to celebrate the first Pay Guarantee metro launched outside of Seattle with local workers. Our growth lead, Araceli and CEO Bryce got a chance to talk to chat with Miami gig workers and meet some of the awesome Solo users in the area.

February

A Month later one of the happiest cities on earth, Orlando,  joined Miami in reimagining gig work with Solo’s Pay Guarantee program.

March

Today, we are excited to launch Tampa as our third Pay Guarantee city!

So how does Solo’s Pay Guarantee work?

We created our Pay Guarantee program to address both income instability as well as help you earn more by working peak pay periods. Our customized in-app schedule optimizer shows you how much you’ll earn across each job you have linked to the Solo app so you can make the most of your time and optimize your schedule. We see workers 20% more on average or $90 more per week!

So how do we produce our earnings predictions? We use aggregated, historical data directly from local app-based workers, that provide the estimated earnings per hour you see in the app. However, what’s happened in the past isn’t always indicative of the future, so our formula adjusts and accounts for anticipated and real-time events that could impact the estimated earnings amounts. This way, you get both the consistency of historical trends and adjustments to reflect the reality of the moment. As long as you turn your mileage tracker on while working and schedule your hours in the app, we make sure your daily pay meets or exceeds our predictions and if it doesn’t, we pay the difference!
