✨ Overview

Your safety and well-being come first. If something doesn’t feel right at a gig—whether it’s a conflict, discrimination, harassment, or a safety issue—there are clear steps to take to protect yourself and report the situation so it can be addressed.

This article explains what to do in an emergency, who to notify, how to report an issue to Ideal Flex Work, and what to expect after you report.

🚨 If This Is an Emergency

If anyone is in immediate danger, call 911 right away.

Once you are safe:

  • Notify the on-site supervisor or manager so the situation is documented.

  • Report the incident to Ideal Flex Work as soon as you can.

🧭 What to Do During or Right After an Incident

  1. Protect your safety

    • Step away from the situation if needed.

    • Get help from on-site supervision or management.

  2. Notify the client or supervisor on site

    • Ask that the incident be documented.

    • If applicable, request that an incident report be created.

  3. Report the issue to Ideal Flex Work in the app

    • Tap the question-mark Help icon <img src="help-icon.png" alt="help icon" width="18"/> in the upper-right corner of the app.

    • Message Talent Support with details of what happened.

📝 What to Include When Reporting a Complaint or Incident

Providing clear details helps us review and act quickly. Please include:

  • Name of the client or location

  • Date and time of the incident (MM/DD/YYYY)

  • Where the incident occurred

  • What happened (what was said or done)

  • Why it felt unsafe, discriminatory, or inappropriate (if applicable)

  • How you responded and any steps you took

  • Names of witnesses, if any

  • Supporting evidence (photos, screenshots, messages, or documents)

  • The impact on you

  • Your preferred outcome, if you have one

⚖️ Types of Issues You Can Report

You should contact us if you experience or witness:

  • Discrimination or harassment

  • Conflicts with coworkers or supervisors

  • Unsafe working conditions

  • Situations that cause you to leave a shift early

  • Any behavior that violates safety or professional standards

🔄 What Happens After You Report

  • The Talent Relations or EOR team reviews reports during business hours.

  • Information is kept confidential as much as possible.

  • We may contact the client or others involved to investigate.

  • You’ll receive updates in the app as the review progresses.

  • If action is taken, we’ll let you know when appropriate.

🛑 Returning to the Location

If you don’t feel comfortable returning to a location:

  • You can un-match from that client if invited again, or

  • Select “Never” when rating the gig

Both options are anonymous to the client. Your comfort and safety come first. 💙
