How to Charge for Additional Work Requested by a Client.

🚀 When working on a project, a client may request additional tasks or changes that weren’t included in the original budget.

If this happens, it’s important to agree on the scope, timeline, and cost of the additional work before getting started. This ensures that both parties understand what needs to be done and how much it will cost.

On Workana, you can formalize additional work through a project extension or a direct hire, depending on the type of work involved.

Which option should I use?

Project Extension

If the additional tasks are part of the project you’re already working on, you can propose an extension from the original project page. There, you can describe the additional work and specify its cost for the client to review.

The client must accept the extension and deposit the funds into escrow before you begin the additional work.

Direct Hire

If the additional work will be handled as a new project, you can agree with the client to set it up as a direct hire. This creates a separate project with its own scope, timeline, and budget.

Once the funds have been deposited into escrow, you can start working according to the agreed terms.

⚠️ Important: Don’t assume that additional tasks will be paid automatically.

Before starting the extra work, make sure the client has agreed to the terms and the corresponding funds have been deposited into escrow.

Keep all agreements and communications within Workana so there’s a record of what was agreed upon.
