6. Worker Payments & Employment Contracts

6.1 Employment Agreement Between Employers & Job Seekers

Happee Antz serves solely as a job marketplace platform that facilitates connections between employers and job seekers. We are not a party to any employment contract or agreement established between the employer and the job seeker.

All contractual terms, including salary, benefits, work conditions, and legal obligations, are negotiated and agreed upon directly between the employer and job seeker.
Happee Antz is not legally responsible for any provisions set forth in employment agreements, including but not limited to payment disputes, contract violations, or employment termination.
In the event of a breach of contract or dispute between the employer and job seeker, both parties must resolve the issue independently through their agreed-upon contractual terms or applicable labor laws.
Happee Antz reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or permanently ban any service account that is found to be in violation of the platform’s Terms of Use, depending on the severity of the violation.
While we take reports of unethical or fraudulent hiring practices seriously, Happee Antz does not mediate employment disputes between employers and job seekers.

6.2 Platform Fees & Payment Policy

Happee Antz operates solely as a job marketplace and does not take commissions or deductions from a job seeker's earnings unless explicitly agreed upon by Happee Antz and the employer under a separate contractual agreement.
Happee Antz only collects payments from the subscription plans available on the website. These subscription fees grant users access to the platform's premium features but do not serve as recruitment or employment fees.
Employers and job seekers are responsible for handling all financial transactions and payments related to employment, without involvement from Happee Antz.
Any additional fees, commissions, or revenue-sharing agreements between Happee Antz and employers will be clearly outlined and agreed upon in a formal, separate agreement outside of the standard job posting and hiring process.

Employers should be transparent about salary offers, while job seekers should verify compensation terms before accepting any job offer. For concerns regarding fraudulent payment practices, users may report violations to publicrelations@happeeantz.com.

6.3 Responsibility for Government-Mandated Benefits

Happee Antz serves purely as a job marketplace platform and is not responsible for the provision, administration, or enforcement of any government-mandated benefits for either job seekers or employers.

Employers are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with labor laws, including but not limited to social security contributions, health insurance, tax deductions, and other statutory benefits required by the governing labor authorities in their respective countries.
Job seekers are responsible for verifying and negotiating employment terms with prospective employers, including any government-mandated benefits applicable to their role.
Happee Antz does not act as an employer or hiring agency and, therefore, does not provide social security coverage, health benefits, retirement contributions, or any other employment-related entitlements.
Job seekers and employers are encouraged to review and comply with relevant labor laws and government regulations in their jurisdiction to ensure full compliance with mandatory benefits and legal requirements.

6.4 Promotions, Payments, and Third-Party Transactions

Happee Antz does not provide holiday bonuses, special discounts, or promotional offers unless such offers are officially displayed on our website and communicated through our formal channels, including:

Our official website www.happeeantz.com
Official Happee Antz email communications with a domain of happeeantz.com
Verified social media accounts

We do not authorize any third-party organization, representative, or agent to act on behalf of Happee Antz regarding payments, discounts, or financial transactions outside our official platform. Any transactions made through unauthorized third parties or misrepresentation of Happee Antz's name are strictly outside our responsibility. Users who engage in unauthorized transactions or fall victim to fraudulent activities outside our platform do so at their own risk. Happee Antz shall not be held legally liable for any financial loss, fraud, or misrepresentation conducted by third parties falsely claiming affiliation with our platform. Always verify promotions and transactions directly on our website or official communication channels before making any payments or commitments. If you suspect fraudulent activities, please report them immediately to publicrelations@happeeantz.com.

6.5 Ensuring Secure Payments for Candidates

At Happee Antz, we strive to provide a safe and trustworthy job marketplace. However, job seekers are encouraged to verify the payment terms and methods agreed upon with an employer before accepting a job offer.

While Happee Antz reviews an employer's past transaction history, we do not have full visibility into or control over an employer’s future payment behavior. Our verification process helps provide insights, but it does not serve as a guarantee of consistent and timely payments from employers.

As Happee Antz is not a direct party in employment agreements, we do not assume legal or financial responsibility for delayed, partial, or non-payment by an employer. In the event of a reported payment issue, our course of action includes:

Investigating the employer’s transaction history
Taking appropriate measures, including account suspension or permanent banning, to prevent further incidents
Encouraging job seekers to report any concerns so we can help maintain a safe job marketplace

Always confirm payment terms in writing before starting work, and report any suspicious employer behavior to publicrelations@happeeantz.com for further review. Happee Antz remains committed to creating a secure and professional hiring environment.
