More Than Gigs: How Gigable Built Real Protection, Support & Benefits for Contractors

The gig economy has changed how people work - offering flexibility, freedom, and control like never before.
But for too many contractors, that flexibility comes at a cost: no safety net, no protection, and no support when life happens.

At Gigable, we don’t believe gig work should mean working alone.

From day one, our mission has been clear: to build a fairer, safer, and more sustainable way to work - without taking away flexibility.

Contractors power some of the most essential services in our communities. They keep restaurants running, deliveries moving, and businesses operating during their busiest moments. Yet traditionally, they’ve been left without the basic protections and support that employees often take for granted.

We saw that gap, and we chose to do something about it.

That’s why Gigable invested in creating a contractor benefits package unlike anything else in the gig economy. Not as a marketing add-on. Not as a temporary incentive. But as a long-term commitment to the people who make the platform work.

Today, Gigable is proud to be the only gig platform offering this level of income protection, wellbeing support, and everyday savings - exclusively to its contractors.

Because at Gigable, gig work isn’t just about filling shifts.
It’s about looking after people, building trust, and creating opportunities that last.

The reality of freelancing today

Contractors often face challenges that traditional jobs solve with benefits:

• Unstable income (variable shifts, demand spikes, seasonal drops)
• No paid sick leave or financial buffer when injuries happen
• Limited or No access to wellbeing support
• Rising living costs (fuel, groceries, essentials)

For many gig workers, one unexpected setback - a minor accident, an injury, or an illness can mean weeks without earnings. That’s not just inconvenient. It’s stressful, and for some, it’s financially damaging.

Why contractor benefits matter (and why businesses should care too)

Contractor benefits aren’t just “nice to have.” They change outcomes:

For contractors

Benefits provide:

• Security when work stops unexpectedly
• Support for health and wellbeing
• Savings that reduce financial pressure week-to-week

For businesses

When contractors are supported, businesses often see:

• Higher reliability and retention
• Fewer last-minute cancellations
• Better shift coverage during peak season
• Smoother operations overall

This is the foundation of Gigable’s approach: a win-win system where contractors thrive and businesses stay resilient.

What Gigable freelancer benefits include

Gigable’s contractor benefits are designed for real life that practical, protective, and genuinely useful for contractors.

Income protection and insurance support

Contractors deserve peace of mind if life interrupts work. Gigable benefits can include:

• Personal accident and injury support
• Income protection if an accident or injury prevents working
• Disability compensation
• Accidental death support
• Additional compensation for accidental injuries
• Family and compassionate leave support
• Robbery recovery assistance

This is especially meaningful for contractors who rely on steady weekly earnings to cover essentials.

Health and wellbeing support

Support should be accessible when you need it, not only when it’s convenient.

Gigable wellbeing benefits can include:

• Digital GP access (phone, chat, or video)
• Mental health support and counselling sessions
• Physiotherapy access
• Family support services
• 24/7 financial advice (budgeting, debt, emergencies)

Everyday savings and discounts

It’s not only about earning more, it’s also about keeping more.

Gigable savings benefits can include:

• Grocery discounts (e.g., Tesco, Lidl, SuperValu, Asda, and more)
• Fuel savings with fuel card from Circle K
• Retail and fashion discounts
• Tech and subscription discounts

For many contractors, these savings can add up meaningfully over the year, especially during high-cost seasons like Christmas.

How to unlock Gigable benefits

Gigable benefits are unlocked through a clear tier system based on gigs completed within a month:

• Bronze Tier: Discounts and fuel savings (from 1 paid gig/month)
• Silver Tier: Bronze benefits + wellbeing support (5–9 gigs/month)
