The Smart, Fair & Local Way to Exchange Skills & Build Stronger Communities & Social Enterprises.

⏳ Valuable Tradeable Time – The Currency of Community

At the heart of WorkTrader is a powerful idea:

Time is valuable.
Time is tradeable.
Time is how we build empowered communities.

WorkTrader is a time transfer system, where people exchange skills, effort, and knowledge using time credits—not just money. Whether you give one hour of gardening or one hour of legal advice, you’re trading in the real value of your time.

This isn’t about discounts. It’s about rediscovering the worth of every person’s contribution and helping communities grow more independent, resourceful, and connected. We are entering a time of transition, where WorkTrader and members contribute to a resilience, survival measures and social progress.

How WorkTrader Works

✔️ Earn Time, Spend Time

Do a task for someone? You earn credits. Need help with something? Spend your credits. It’s simple, flexible, and empowering.

✔️ Built-In Fairness: Three-Tier Credit System

Not all time is equal—some tasks require more training or responsibility. That’s why WorkTrader uses a fair multiplier system:

Work Type

Example

Credits Earned per Hour

Level 1 – General

Cleaning, gardening, deliveries

1.0

Level 2 – Skilled

Plumbing, tutoring, web design

1.5

Level 3 – Professional

Legal advice, health services, engineering

2.0

This maintains balance, respect, and true value exchange.

Powered by the Community — With Smart Oversight

WorkTrader is locally rooted but globally supported, with strong infrastructure and tools to keep everything running fairly.

Local Facilitators

Each district has at least 3 trained Facilitators, drawn from community groups, social enterprises, or charities, who:

• Keep fair records of time exchanged (backed up by WorkTrader HQ)

• Actively help users find trading partners

• Prevent credit inflation and encourage balanced participation

Local Community Blogs

Every community has a coded blog (e.g., WorkTrader 61 5114 Smithfield) where users:

• Share updates, needs, offers, and achievements

• Connect around events, ideas, and opportunities

Hybrid Flexibility

Need to cover costs? WorkTrader allows time + financial exchanges between regular users if agreed. That way, practical needs never block participation. WorkTrader records time used in hours and not money exchanges which is between respective parties.

From Personal Help to Local Resilience

WorkTrader isn’t just about individual exchanges—it’s about community transformation.

✔️ Small working parties can form to take on bigger projects
✔️ Start tool libraries and resource sharing pools
✔️ Launch home garden produce swaps

You don’t need to wait for “the system” to fix things—WorkTrader lets communities rebuild from the ground up.
