Contractor Shifts (Working as a 1099 employee)

1. As an independent contractor, taxes are not withheld from your pay. There are many misconceptions about independent contractors in dentistry. With GoTu, our professionals choose their own days, hours, offices, and rate which satisfies the IRS requirements for being an independent contractor.
2. Taxes will be paid when you submit your tax return information and will not conflict with any W2 earnings from an office you work with directly.

Employee Shifts (Working as a w-2 employee)

1. As a W-2 employee, taxes are automatically withheld from your pay. Taxes are deducted from each paycheck in accordance with IRS regulations for W-2 employees.
2. Taxes are withheld throughout the year, reducing the amount owed at tax time, and any additional tax obligations are handled through the employer.

Contractor Shifts (Working as a 1099 employee)

GoTu offers dental professionals two payment options:

1. Direct deposit: Dental professionals must have their bank account or debit card number on file for GoTu to successfully process payments. 24 hours after the shift has been completed GoTu will pay you via direct deposit. Once GoTu issues payment, it may take your bank 2-3 business days to process the direct deposit.
2. Express pay: Dental professionals must have a debit card information on file and set as your default payment in order for GoTu to successfully issue an express payout. Once an office confirms the hours worked, or 24 hours have passed since the shift was completed (whichever comes first) payment will be issued and be available within 2 to 3 hours.
3. Always contact GoTu support if you have questions about payments as a contractor (786.460.2170)

Example of Payout Schedule:

* Pay is released 24 hours after completing a shift. Adjustments must be requested within that time.

* Adjustments may delay payout by an additional 24 hours.

* This schedule may vary due to bank holidays.

Employee Shifts (Working as a W-2 employee)

1. Dental professionals working as W-2 employees are paid on a payroll schedule every Friday for shifts worked the previous Monday through Sunday.
2. If you have any questions, please contact TriNet at 1-800-638-0461.

GoTu is committed to protecting the privacy of the digital community. Once the shift is confirmed, you will be able to access the dental office’s information. When you are confirmed, you will be able to see the office name, address and any additional notes the office has left. You can also message/call the office directly through the app as soon as you are confirmed.

Photos are required to complete your profile, as they help dental offices prepare for your arrival and know who to expect. Your photo will be shared with dental offices when reviewing applications. You must add a photo to apply and complete shifts with GoTu.
