"The goal of the ShiftPixy platform is to make the part-time labor market operate more efficiently," ShiftPixy chief executive officer Absher explains. "Workers are able to receive valuable benefits such as health insurance and workers' compensation, while operators are given access to the tools needed to remain compliant with labor laws or to streamline time-consuming administrative tasks."
The three-year-old company was created to service the growing segment of US workers expected to join the gig economy as freelance workers — a number projected to reach about 50 percent of the U.S. population by 2027. It does so by helping workers translate multiple part-time jobs into a full-time income stream, while simultaneously connecting them with companies and business owners to fill open roles quickly.
