Benefits of working at Shipt

Below is an overview of the different benefits and perks employees receive while working at Shipt.

Shipt Shoppers are classified as gig workers or independent contractors, and full medical and health benefits are not guaranteed. But, there are still options in place that help provide peace of mind, security, and resources while working as a Shopper.

Shipt has a detailed Shipt Shopper Hub that offers support to Shoppers on an array of topics including medical, health, and financial-related questions and concerns, COVID-19 assistance, 24/7 immediate assistance, and places to give feedback. Click here to explore more of the Hub.
