7. Work Authorization & Legal Compliance

All users of the Platform must comply with the employment and immigration laws of the country in which they seek or offer employment. By using opnWork!, you represent and warrant that:

• You hold a valid legal right to work in the jurisdiction where the position is located, including any required work permits, visas, or employment authorizations

• If you are an international student, you understand and will comply with the work-hour restrictions imposed by your student visa or study permit (see below)

Note: opnWork! does not verify immigration status or work authorization. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that you are legally permitted to work before accepting any position.

8. International Student Employment Rules

If you are an international student, you are subject to strict work-hour limits and conditions imposed by your host country's immigration laws. The following table provides general guidance only.

Immigration policies change frequently. Always verify your work entitlements through your host country's official government website or university international student office.

9. Prohibition of Cash & Unlawful Employment

opnWork! strictly prohibits the use of the Platform to facilitate, advertise, seek, or arrange any form of unlawful employment, including but not limited to:

• "Cash-in-hand" or "under-the-table" work — payments in cash to avoid payroll taxes or statutory obligations
• Off-the-books employment — work without proper contracts, payslips, or tax reporting
• Visa-violating employment — work that exceeds visa-permitted hours or conditions
• Exploitative labor practices — paying below minimum wage, withholding wages, or requiring workers to forgo legal rights

For Employers: You must pay all workers through lawful payroll channels, provide proper employment documentation, and comply with all local minimum wage and labor laws.

For Applicants: If you are offered a "cash-only" position or asked to work without a proper contract, decline and report the listing. Working illegally provides no legal protections.
