After receiving from the client the requirements for the project, the freelancer can get started. This contract type gives you the ability to monitor the work and to know the time it takes to perform various tasks required.

The mode of operation is as follows: the freelanceer must send reports (through the work journal) where he must detail: what was done, when it was done and the time it took to do it.

Through the journal, the freelancer can send as many reports a day as necessary. So we suggest sending a report for each specific task completed, indicating what was done and how long it took. This way, you will understand more clearly the work done and both can have greater control over the employment contract established.

After the hours are reported in detail, the client can APPROVE or DISAPPROVE each report. You must take into account that these reports will be used to evaluate freelancer´s reliability throughout the process and to form a long term professional bond. The best thing the freelancer can do is to be as clear and precise as possible when writing his reports.

When a client approves the hours, payment will be made 24 hours after the client's approval.

The contract does not have an end date, therefore it may be terminated at any time. In order to finalize the contract, there must be no pending hours.

How to finish an hourly project? 

This projects don't have a deadline, they can keep going according to clients demand.🙂

In the same way, in case of finishing the contract or project, the owner can do the action directly through his/her own profile.

See the steps to complete this action :)

IF YOU ARE THE CUSTOMER:

To be able to close an hourly project, first of all, select the contract. Select “My projects” and in “State - working”.

There you must display the menu that is on the right (in the 3 dots).

IMPORTANT: In order for the contract to be closed, it must NOT HAVE hours IN PENDING PAYMENT or with BILLING ERROR. In the event that the project has hours pending or with a billing error, it will be necessary first to normalize the payment.

Once the contract is closed, both the customer and professional can rate each other.

IF YOU ARE PROFESSIONAL:

If you are working on an hourly project and you want to cancel it, you should contact the client and ask him/her to close the contract.

In the event that the client does not close it, or does not give you an answer, you can request the termination of the contract, entering from "Contact us" and indicating the name of the project🙂
