ShiftSmart customer service telephone number (USA) — definitive guide

Does ShiftSmart publish a U.S. customer-service telephone number?

As of current practice, ShiftSmart does not maintain a single public 1‑800 style telephone number for general worker support in the United States. ShiftSmart’s core support channel for workers and clients is digital: the mobile app’s in‑app Help/Support, the company website, and case/email systems. This model is common among gig and on‑demand staffing platforms because it centralizes case management and preserves audit trails for pay disputes, background checks, and shift verifications.

That said, some local partners and client sites do provide phone contacts for shift leads or site supervisors inside each individual shift posting. If you need immediate, shift‑specific assistance (for example, late arrival, site directions, or safety incidents), the shift detail in the app frequently shows a phone number for the client contact or local supervisor—use that number for time‑sensitive issues rather than a general corporate line.

How to contact ShiftSmart — step by step

Primary contact method: open the ShiftSmart app, go to the Help or Support tab, and submit a new case. This attaches your account ID, device logs and the specific shift metadata (shift ID, client, date/time) automatically. If you do not have the app available, go to the official website at https://www.shiftsmart.com and click Help/Contact or Support; the site will present an email form or a link to sign into worker support.

If you absolutely need phone assistance, try these two realistic options: first, call the phone number listed inside the individual shift posting for client/site contact; second, if your shift was arranged through an employer or staffing partner, contact your employer’s HR or payroll phone number (often provided in onboarding documentation). For many workers the fastest route to a phone interaction is to ask the in‑app agent to escalate and request a callback—this generates a ticket and documents the escalation.

What to include in any inquiry (phone or digital)

Before calling or messaging, collect the specific data that speeds resolution. At a minimum have: your full name as on the ShiftSmart account, the email address used to register, your Worker ID (from the app), the Shift ID or job title, date and time of the shift, the client name (e.g., retailer, warehouse), and any relevant screenshots or payment transaction IDs. Example: Worker ID 123456, Shift ID 987654, shift date 08/12/2025, client: Downtown DC Distribution Center, scheduled 08:00–14:00, pay rate $16.50/hr.

Additionally, for payment disputes bring payroll details: the pay period (e.g., 07/01/2025–07/15/2025), the disputed amount ($32.75), payment method (direct deposit last 4 digits of bank), and the date you expected the payment. If your concern is account access, have your device model (iPhone 12 / Android Samsung S20), app version (displayed in Settings), and a short description of the error message or screenshot of the failure.

Typical response times and escalation expectations

Initial responses from ShiftSmart support via in‑app or email commonly arrive within 24–72 hours on routine questions; more complex items such as pay investigations or background check problems can take 3–10 business days. If an issue is time‑sensitive (e.g., safety incident, withheld pay affecting immediate needs), request escalation in your ticket and ask for a case number and an estimated SLA in writing—this creates a traceable record.

When you request escalation, expect three levels: (1) front‑line agent reply and triage, (2) case owner who conducts investigation and collects evidence (2–5 business days), and (3) manager or legal/operations review for contested outcomes (up to 10 business days). Always obtain the ticket/case ID and the name or email of the agent handling the case for follow‑up.

Troubleshooting common problems (payments, shifts, app issues)

Payment not received: confirm first whether payment was issued (review bank statement for the deposit date). If no deposit appears, open a payment dispute in the app and attach your bank deposit statement, the pay period, and the expected pay amount. Many payment issues are bank routing errors—confirm your routing and account numbers before escalation. If the payment was reversed or returned, request a manual reissue and an expected reissue date in writing.

Shift no‑show or pay discrepancy: collect time stamps, photos of the worksite arrival (if safe and permitted), and any client communications (text, email). Submit those into the case. For app crashes, update to the latest app version (check release date/version in the app store), clear cache or reinstall, and include logs and a timestamp when contacting support so engineers can correlate events.
