Dispute Resolution

Works (previously named as Gigworks) has processed more than thousands of transactions and successfully kept the number of disputes to a minimum.
How it works
Works' dispute specialist is always on the line to ensure a fair outcome from dispute resolution processes
We value our users. When there is a dispute that cannot be resolved by users, Work's dispute specialist would step in as mediator upon request to make fair judgement on the matter. The team is entrusted with making fair and intelligent judgements that objectively consider both sides of a dispute in order to reach a fair outcome.

Dispute Resolution Process:

Works has our own dispute specialists who specialise in evaluation and review on disputes. Under a well-defined guideline, these specialists make their fair judgement based on supporting evidence from users that considers all perspectives to make sure the outcome is neutral at all times.
