What are Automagic Earnings?

Answer

Automagic Earnings (AE) is a feature that automatically adds your earnings to your account based on your work address. Automagic Earnings replaces the need for a timesheet. For it to work, we need your phone’s GPS (location services) to be on at all times, and you must have a fixed work address.

To enroll in Automagic, here’s what you need to do:

For Android:

1. Go into Settings on the upper right.
2. Click Edit Work Info. 
3. Select your Pay Type > click Next.
4. Select your employer.
5. Click Set Location.
6. Enter the address of the physical location of your work. If you work from home, Automagic won't be available to you yet. 
   • Automagic earnings won’t be able to add earnings correctly if your work location changes frequently, or if you work offsite. Providing us the address where you physically work, and keeping your GPS on helps verify your work hours to make sure you’re able to access the money you’ve worked for)
7. Click Save Workplace after you set the address of where you work.

For iOS:

1. Go into Settings on the upper left.
2. Click Work Info. 
3. Select your Pay Type > click Continue.
4. Select your employer.
5. Click Set Location.
6. Enter the address of the physical location of your work. If you work from home, Automagic won't be available to you yet. 
   • Automagic earnings won’t be able to add earnings correctly if your work location changes frequently, or if you work offsite. Providing us the address where you physically work, and keeping your GPS on helps verify your work hours to make sure you’re able to access the money you’ve worked for)
7. Click Save Workplace after you set the address of where you work.

As long as our system recognizes your work address, you should see earnings added to your account within 1-2 days of working. This feature won't work for employees who work remotely or travel during their shift.

Additional Notes

• The AE feature stops loading earnings after 14 hours because we’ve found that most hourly workers work 8 to 9 hours a day, so we’ve set a maximum of 14 hours per day to account for overtime work. 
• For Android users, your phone’s battery saver may affect GPS. If your phone is on battery saver, it could automatically turn GPS off without alerting you. We recommend that you leave the battery saver off, but if you need to turn it on, you should open your Earnin app every few hours to make sure that your Earnin GPS is still running.
• Some devices require your Earnin app to be running in the background, so please don't swipe up or to the side in the app to close it.
