Vermont 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 Vermont for 2028.

Building Compliant Model
2028 Launch
Vermont applies the ABC Test with a strong worker-protection philosophy. It's a small market, but YoZombie is committed to reaching every state — and Vermont is part of our 2028 buildout.
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 Vermont’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 Vermont’s legal requirements. Building it right takes time. We’re targeting 2028.
Burlington's growing economy and Vermont's outdoor tourism-driven small business scene have real demand for flexible labor. We'll get here in 2028. The demand for same-day flexible help in Vermont 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 Vermont see it in real time and choose to accept.
Vermont 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 Vermont, accept the ones that fit, skip the ones that don’t.
Vermont 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 Vermont’s worker protection laws. We believe both can be served.
We’d rather take the time to build a Vermont-compliant model than rush a launch and get it wrong. Our workers and businesses deserve better than a legal mess.

YoZombie is targeting Vermont 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. We're committed to getting there — we're just not going to rush it. Join the waitlist at yozombie.com/states/vermont to be notified when we're ready.
Vermont 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 Vermont 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.
Vermont 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 Vermont's worker protection laws. We believe the two are compatible. We're building toward it, targeting 2028.
YoZombie's 2028 rollout in Vermont will focus on Burlington, Essex, South Burlington, and Colchester, with service expanding statewide as the network grows. Join the waitlist at yozombie.com/states/vermont to be first in your city.
