Pay, currencies, and avoiding payment scams

How pay is shown

Employers post pay in their own currency — US dollars ($) or Canadian dollars (CA$) — and you see each job in the currency it was posted in.

Pay can be hourly, fixed, or negotiable; the listing shows which.

Payment red flags

Legitimate employers never ask you to pay a deposit, a training fee, or a starter-kit cost — anyone asking you to send money first is a scam.

Never accept payment by gift cards, wire transfer, or crypto, and never 'deposit a check and send back the difference' — that's a classic overpayment scam.
