For Students
Questions,
answered.
Everything you need to know about working with Ovrtime before we launch.
Is Ovrtime free for students?
Yes. Signing up and using the app costs nothing. There are no fees on your side. Ever. The rate you see on every shift listing is exactly what you earn.
When does Ovrtime launch?
We are launching late 2026. Join the waitlist and be among the first students on the platform.
Do I need previous experience?
No. Ovrtime is open to students at all experience levels. Your rating starts building from your very first shift and grows over time.
What types of shifts are available?
Hospitality, bar work, events, waiting, front-of-house and more. The range of roles grows as more partner venues join the platform.
How does pay work?
Every shift shows the full hourly rate upfront before you apply. Your earnings are tracked in the app after each completed shift and added to your Ovrtime balance within 7 working days, where they are available to withdraw.
Can I work as much or as little as I want?
Yes. There are no minimum hours and no commitments. You update your availability whenever you like and only apply for shifts that work for you.
What is the OWS score?
The Ovrtime Worker Score is your reputation on the platform. It is built from venue ratings after each shift, combined with reliability metrics like punctuality and shift completion rate. A higher score means better visibility when venues are reviewing applicants.
What happens if a shift is cancelled?
Cancellation policies will be clearly outlined in the app at launch. We are designing the system to be fair to both sides.
