Resolving Payment Issues

What to do if you encounter problems with payments.

4 min readUpdated January 2026

At KOVR, we aim for seamless transactions. However, if something goes wrong with a payment, we are here to help you resolve it quickly.

Common Issues for Workers

"My shift ended but I don't see the money"

Earnings only appear in your Wallet *after* the employer approves your timesheet. Most employers do this within a few hours, but they have up to 24 hours. If it's been longer than a day, please message the employer via the shift chat.

"Instant Pay is not working"

If the Instant Pay button is grayed out, it's usually because:

  • You don't have a compatible debit card linked.
  • Your bank does not support instant transfers.
  • Your account is under a routine security review.
Important: Prepaid cards and some credit union cards do not support Instant Pay. Link a major bank debit card for best results.

Common Issues for Employers

"I was charged the wrong amount"

Incorrect charges are usually due to a timesheet error. Review the itemized invoice in your dashboard. If you accidentally approved the wrong hours, contact supportimmediately to request a correction.

"I can't add my corporate card"

Ensure the "Billing Address" you enter in KOVR matches the exact address on file with your bank. Some corporate cards require a specific ZIP code for online transactions.

How to Open a Payment Dispute

If you and the other party cannot agree on a payment amount (e.g., a disagreement over break times or arrival time), follow these steps:

  1. Go to the shift in your **History**.
  2. Tap **Get Help with this Shift**.
  3. Select **Payment Dispute**.
  4. Provide details and any evidence (like photos of a physical sign-in sheet).

Our Trust & Safety team will review the dispute and provide a resolution within 48 hours.
