Massachusetts has some of the most rigorous worker classification laws in the country. That’s not a reason to skip it — it’s a reason to build something that earns the right to be here. We’re targeting Massachusetts for 2028.
Platform Built & Tested
Massachusetts Legal Research Underway
Building Compliant Model
2028 Launch
Massachusetts has the most aggressive enforcement of the ABC Test in the country and the highest litigation risk for gig platforms of any state. We take that seriously. We're not going to rush Massachusetts — we're building a model that can operate here correctly, and we're targeting 2028.
Here’s what we want to say plainly: YoZombie exists to be fair to gig workers. Workers keep 100% of their pay. They choose every gig they accept. They’re never obligated to show up. That’s genuine independence — and it’s the same principle behind Massachusetts’s worker protection laws. We’re not adversaries here. We’re building something those laws can support.
We believe a model can exist that genuinely works for gig workers, for businesses, and fully satisfies Massachusetts’s legal requirements. Building it right takes time. We’re targeting 2028.
Boston is one of the country's great economic cities — healthcare, biotech, universities, hospitality. The opportunity is enormous. We're determined to build a Massachusetts-compliant model. The demand for same-day flexible help in Massachusetts is real. We’re committed to building a model that lets us serve that demand — compliantly.
Post a gig in under five minutes. Set the rate, the time, the task. Nearby independent gig workers in Massachusetts see it in real time and choose to accept.
Massachusetts gig workers deserve a platform that fights for them — including doing the legal work to operate here correctly. That’s what we’re doing.
Whatever rate is posted is what you earn. No percentage skimmed. Browse gigs near you in Massachusetts, accept the ones that fit, skip the ones that don’t.
Massachusetts has strict worker classification laws. We take them seriously. We’re not looking for workarounds — we’re building a model that works within them.
YoZombie’s mission — fairness to workers AND businesses — is the same instinct behind Massachusetts’s worker protection laws. We believe both can be served.
We’d rather take the time to build a Massachusetts-compliant model than rush a launch and get it wrong. Our workers and businesses deserve better than a legal mess.

YoZombie is targeting Massachusetts for 2028. The state has some of the most rigorous worker classification laws in the country, which require a carefully structured independent contractor model before we can launch compliantly.

Massachusetts businesses will be able to post a gig through the YoZombie app — set the task, rate, and time. Nearby independent gig workers see it and choose to accept. The business pays a flat fee of $12–$25 per gig slot. No payroll, no agency markup, no long-term commitments. Payment releases automatically via QR check-in.
Gig workers in Massachusetts will keep 100% of the posted gig rate when YoZombie launches. YoZombie takes zero commission from worker pay. Workers are paid via Stripe Connect within 1–2 business days of completing a gig.
Massachusetts enforces strict worker classification laws — in some cases the ABC Test — that presume a worker is an employee unless proven otherwise. Building a fully compliant independent contractor model here takes real legal work. YoZombie's mission is to be fair to gig workers and businesses alike, which is the same principle behind Massachusetts's worker protection laws. We believe the two are compatible. We're building toward it, targeting 2028.
YoZombie's 2028 rollout in Massachusetts will focus on Boston, Worcester, Springfield, and Cambridge, with service expanding statewide as the network grows. Join the waitlist at yozombie.com/states/massachusetts to be first in your city.
