Moving Service Provider Policies v2.04

Managed Moving Services Policies

Last updated: March 22, 2022

Managed Moving Services program

  • Description. For Managed Moving Services, Porch Moving Group ("PMG") sets the prices the moving customer will pay for the services. As a Moving Services Pro ("MSP" or "you"), PMG will contract your services to fulfill the Managed Work Order and pay you at the price you have indicated, in accordance with the Pricing Policy. You must sign the Terms of Service for Moving Pros and the Additional Terms for Moving Services Professionals in order to be assigned a Managed Work Order from PMG.
  • Pricing. In your account, you will determine and indicate your compensation rates for services by the hour, travel and other fees. While there are no limitations to the rates you set, it is important to note that competitive pricing is a determining factor of how PMG chooses a provider for any given Managed Work Order. More favorable pricing will result in PMG assigning you more Managed Work Orders. Once you set your rates, you can only change them by contacting a PMG agent at [email protected] and the changed rates will only apply to future Managed Work Orders you accept.
    • Flights of stairs. To determine fees for "flights of stairs", please note that PMG defines a "flight of stairs" as four or more steps between floors. Stairs are still considered "one flight" if the steps are interrupted by a landing and continue to lead you to the next floor of the building. Our representatives keep this definition in mind at the time of booking when gathering details from moving customers.. PMG's policy is that the first flight of stairs on an order is always free. For all flights, you have the option to charge extra, regardless of whether the additional flights are at the initial location or subsequent locations.
    • Travel fees. To determine travel fees by miles, PMG uses Google Maps to determine the actual driving mileage between two locations (from the Moving Pros business address to the center of the User's zip codes). In the rare case that PMG cannot determine the driving mileage, distance is calculated as the shortest distance between two points on the map. When the Managed Work Order covers a local move (when the moving customer's locations are within 100 miles of each other), no additional travel fees will be added as you are charging for the time it takes to drive to the moving customer's second location.
  • Same Day/Next Day. You may indicate in your account if you are willing to be assigned to same day or next day Managed Work Orders. If you do so, please note that a PMG agent will always confirm that you are available for a same day or next day job before assigning it to you by calling you.
  • Scheduling. PMG gathers as much information as possible from moving customers in order to estimate the length of the Managed Work Order. PMG will determine the total number of crew size and hours, known as pre-booked time in the Managed Work Order. These will be blocked off on your calendar once the customer completes the booking. Customers can reduce or increase pre-booked time at their discretion, but PMG will make every effort to guide the customer to pre-book the correct amount of time based on PMG calculations.
  • Acceptance of Managed Work Orders. In your account, you must accept any Managed Work Orders assigned to you within 24 hours. If you do not accept it within that time frame, it will be reassigned to another MSP. Once you have confirmed a Managed Work Order via your account, the details will automatically appear in your Calendar in your account. This view should be monitored regularly.
  • Reminders. As a courtesy, PMG will call you with a reminder the day before a scheduled Managed Work Order. Alternatively, you have the option to receive a text reminder. 1 day prior to an upcoming job date providers will receive a reminder call (providers can opt for texts instead) 1 day prior to an upcoming job date.

Uniform Policy

All MSPs and their crews fulfilling a Managed Work Order must wear a uniform. A uniform may consist of matching shirts or different shirts if they all display the same company logo.

Equipment Policy

MSPs must bring a hand truck, furniture dolly or moving straps and a basic set of tools (Flathead and Philips Head Screw Drivers, Allen Wrench Set, Adjustable Crescent Wrench, And Pliers) to fulfill each Managed Work Order.

Order Changes Policy

If a moving customer requests a change to their Managed Work Order by adding to crew size or adding time, the change will be approved based on your indicated availability. PMG will only approve a change that results in a reduction in hours or crew size if the request is made more than 3 days prior to the scheduled date of the Managed Work Order.

Delays; Arrival Time; Cancellation Policies

  • Delays. If you arrive during the one hour arrival window selected, the "clock" for your Managed Work Order begins upon arrival, even if the moving customer is not ready for you to begin work.

  • Arrival. You must arrive in the 1 hour arrival window selected or will be considered late. If the crew is going to be late to a job for any reason, you must call PMG directly. PMG is your customer. Please try to have a backup plan if your movers call out sick or have car issues, or something similar. Arriving outside of the scheduled arrival time may result in quality score reduction and may affect the rate at which we assign future Managed Work Orders to you.

  • Overtime Policy. As part of our Managed Moving services, we require that MSPs stay up to a total of 2 additional hours over the pre-booked time. You will be compensated in accordance with the overage rates indicated in your account. If additional hours are needed, you may continue to work at your discretion at the overage rates indicated in your account.

  • Refund Hours Policy. As part of Managed Moving services, PMG always tries to accurately anticipate the number of hours a moving customer needs to book. In the event that the pre-booked hours exceed the actual hours needed to fulfill the Managed Work Order, PMG will subtract no more than 1 hour of the pre-booked time from the total.

  • Cancellation by you.

    • We ask that if you need to cancel a Managed Work Order for any reason, you do so with as much notice as possible.
    • If you do not show up for a Managed Work Order and you have not notified PMG, you will:
      • Be put in vacation mode. You will temporarily not receive any more Managed Work Orders until your call or yourself out of vacation mode on your account.
      • Received a 0 as Quality Score. This may impact your ability to receive future Managed Work Orders.
      • You will owe PMG a MSP No Show Fee = 75% of pre-booked compensation
        • We will deduct this fee from your payment
        • If you do not pay the cancellation fee or if you have an excessive amount of no shows (as determined solely by PMG) we may deactivate your account.
  • Cancellation by moving customer.

    • You will receive the following fees for a cancellation by the moving customer:
      • Moving customer cancels 3 or more days prior to Managed Work Order date = No cancellation fee
      • Moving customer cancels because of late arriving crew = No cancellation fee
      • Moving Customer cancels between 3 days and 1 Day prior Managed Work Order date = PMG will pay you a cancellation fee of 10% of your pre-booked compensation
        • Note: 1 day prior is considered within PMG business hours the day before scheduled service
      • Moving Customer cancels on the day of service - PMG will pay you a cancellation fee of 75% of your pre-booked compensation.

Onsite Problems Policy

If you have problems with a moving customer, the Managed Work Order, or anything pertaining to the Managed Work Order on the job site, you should immediately contact the PMG Service Team. The PMG Service Team will assist in resolving the issue.

Work Order and Payments Policy

  • Submission. You must submit a PMG work ticket to PMG at the completion of each job. An electronic work ticket will be provided to you via email and in your account at the beginning of each job.
    • All work tickets must be signed by the moving customer to be considered valid.
    • All work tickets, whether electronic or by other method, must be submitted to PMG no later than 3 days following the Managed Work Order date ("Work Ticket Due Date").
    • If work tickets are not received within this time period:
      • The Managed Work Order will be considered completed and paid at the pre-booked time only; and
      • We will review and initiate payment processing 3 business days after the Work Ticket Due Date.
  • Payment. Submitting work tickets electronically is the fastest way to get paid.
    • Once you submit the work ticket electronically, it will be sent to the moving customer for their signature. Moving customers have one day to sign. We will begin processing payment once we receive the moving customer signature, or at the completion of the one day period.
    • If you submit the work ticket by other methods, we will review the work ticket and initiate payment processing in 3 business days.
    • Funds are subject to normal banking processing times.

Claims Policy

Marketplace Moving Services Policies

Last Updated: March 22, 2022

Managed Moving Services program

  • Description. Porch Moving Group ("PMG") provides a platform for moving customers to connect to moving professionals. "There are two types of Services that you may "opt-in" to make Services available through the Platform and provide: (1) Labor Service, which cannot include transportation and (2) Moving Service, for local and intrastate moves, which includes transportation. Labor Service and Moving Service are referred to jointly as "Services". You must sign the Terms of Service for Moving Pros in order to accept a Marketplace Work Order.
    • When you provide Labor Service providing any transportation or assistance with any transportation using trucks or any vehicles of any kind will be a violation of these policies and will be grounds for deactivation of Your Account.
  • Pricing.
    • Rates. In your account, you may indicate your flat rates, travel rates, same day rates, next day rates, equipment fees, and any other rates or pricing. You may also indicate your area coverage.
    • Overage. For any hours worked over the pre-booked time, the default option in your account will indicate that you do not provide such Service. If you make the election in your account that you are willing to provide time beyond the pre-booked hours and/or provide Service beyond what was originally booked by a Moving Customer, you are agreeing to that availability on every Marketplace Work Order in circumstances where more time is needed.
    • Refunds. Options for a refund policy are listed in Your Account. It is your responsibility to make clear what your refund policy is in Your Account. Should you elect to offer refunds for unused time, you are agreeing to refund Moving Customers on every Marketplace Work Order where a Moving Customer requests a refund for the unused time. If you elect to not offer refunds for unused time, but you show up late to fulfill a Marketplace Work Order, the Moving Customer is entitled to a refund of unused time equal to the amount of time you were delayed.
    • Flights of stairs. To determine fees for "flights of stairs", please note that we define a "flight of stairs" as four or more steps between floors. Stairs are still considered "one flight" if the steps are interrupted by a landing and continue to lead you to the next floor of the building. Our representatives keep this definition in mind at the time of booking when gathering details from moving customers. Our policy is that the first flight of stairs on an order is always free. For all flights, you have the option to charge extra, regardless of whether the additional flights are at the initial location or subsequent locations.
    • Travel fees. To determine travel fees by miles, we use Google Maps to determine the actual driving mileage between two locations (from the Moving Pros business address to the center of the User's zip codes). In the rare case that we cannot determine the driving mileage, distance is calculated as the shortest distance between two points on the map. When the Marketplace Work Order covers a local move (when the moving customer's locations are within 100 miles of each other), no additional travel fees will be added as you are charging for the time it takes to drive to the moving customer's second location.
  • Marketplace Work Orders. Upon selecting a Moving Pro, a Moving Customer enters the date, time and description of the Labor Service or Moving Service they wish to procure into a Marketplace Work Order. Service under the Marketplace Work Order may go longer or shorter than the specifications listed.
    • You have 24 hours to accept or reject a Marketplace Work Order. If you do not reply within 24 hours, you will receive another email notification and a 24-hour grace period to respond to the Marketplace Work Order. If you ignore and/or fail to respond to a Marketplace Work Order notification, your account may be deactivated, and the Marketplace Work Order will be re-routed to a different Moving Pro in the market area.
      • If you indicate you can offer same day and/or next day service you must respond to a Marketplace Work Order notification 2 hours in advance of the requested start time or within 24 hours, whichever is sooner.

      • If you arrive at a job site during the scheduled Service start time and a Moving Customer is not present, you will be on the clock and can charge for wait time as soon as you complete calls to the Moving Customer and us. If a cancellation fee applies, we will retain ten (10) percent of the total cancellation fee as our fee.
    • In the case of your delay:
      • Call your moving customer if you are running late. If the moving customer calls us, we may assist them in selecting another Moving Pro and this will be considered a cancellation with notice of less than 1 hour. You will be penalized accordingly. We will not reimburse you for your time.

PMG will also approve changes that result in a reduction in transportation units or size of transport unit, if the request is made more than 3 days prior to the scheduled date of the Plus Work Order. If a moving customer requests changes that results in a reduction in transportation units or size of transport unit, within 3 days of the scheduled date for the Plus Work Order You will receive the following fees:

  • Moving customer requests changes that results in the reduction of transport units or size of transport unit 3 or more days prior to Plus Work Order date = No fee
  • Moving Customer requests changes that result in the reduction of transport units or size of transport unit between 3 days and 1 Day prior Plus Work Order date = PMG will make the requested adjustment and the order will be updated to reflect the reduced count of transport units or size of transport. And You will be paid a fee of 25% of your original pre-booked compensation.

Note: 1 day prior is considered within PMG business hours the day before scheduled service.

  • Moving customer requests changes that result in the reduction of transport units or size of transport unit on the day of service - PMG will make the requested adjustment and the order will be updated to reflect the reduced count of transport units or size of transport.

If the customer is not ready or available for Services as scheduled, within a reasonable time, PMG may request for the Services to be rescheduled or canceled as a result of the moving customer being unprepared, and you will be paid in accordance with the Cancellation policy.

  • Arrival. You must arrive in the 1-hour arrival window selected or will be considered late. If the crew is going to be late to a job for any reason, you are required to call PMG directly. PMG is your customer. Please try to have a backup plan if your movers call out sick or have car issues, or something similar. Arriving outside of the scheduled arrival time may result in quality score reduction and may affect the rate at which we assign future Plus Work Orders to you.

  • Overtime Policy. Because customers are booking by transportation type and size, there is no overtime. You are expected to stay until the work is completed unless there are extenuating circumstances like an unprepared customer or undisclosed move details. You will need to communicate with PMG to flag these concerns. Communication of fulfillment concerns are required to be flagged immediately to PMG.
