How Payments for Hourly Contracts Work

Payments for hourly work are generated from approved timesheets.

Before payment can be processed, your timesheet must complete the review process. For information about submitting timesheets, approval timelines, and returned timesheets, see Managing and Submitting Timesheets.

After your timesheet is approved

Approved payments enter a 5-day security review period before funds become available.

Tracking your payment

You can track your earnings and payment status from the Transactions page.

During the security review period:

• Payments appear as Approved.

• The expected availability date is displayed for each payment.

• You can view a breakdown of earnings by contract.

Once the security review period is complete, your funds become available.

When you’ll be paid

The following example shows a typical payment timeline for an approved hourly timesheet. If your timesheet is returned for updates, the timeline will be extended until it is resubmitted and approved.

If you work hours between Monday and Sunday:

• Your timesheet is automatically submitted on Sunday at 11:59 PM UTC.

• Your client has until Friday to review the timesheet.

• If approved, your payment enters a 5-day security review period.

• Your payment is expected to become available the following Wednesday.

Manual payments and bonuses

Clients can send manual payments, including bonuses, outside of the timesheet process.

Once processed, these payments enter the same 5-day security review period before becoming available.
