We understand that unexpected situations can arise. If you’ve accepted an on-demand job or run but are no longer able to complete it, here’s how to cancel it properly, and what to expect depending on the timing.
✅ Cancelling Within 15 Minutes of Assignment
If it’s been 15 minutes or less since you accepted or were assigned the job:
📱 Cancel Directly in the Runner App
-
Go to “My Jobs” and select the job you want to cancel
-
Tap the “Actions” button
-
Tap “Cancel job”
-
Select the appropriate reason (e.g., Applied by mistake, Not able to complete)
📝 Result: You’ll receive a neutral review, and this will not negatively impact your account.
📞 Cancelling After 15 Minutes of Assignment
If it’s been more than 15 minutes since assignment, the app will not allow cancellation.
📞 What to Do Instead:
-
Contact GoPeople Support immediately
-
Clearly explain why you need to cancel
-
Be honest and provide as much context as possible
🕐 Review Impact Based on Time Left Before Pickup
