When you work on an hourly basis, you are entitled to the protection of UpWork’s Payment Protection for Hourly Jobs. This protection ensures that you will be paid for the hours you have worked, even if your client does not make a payment. To qualify for this protection, please check all that apply:

You must have an hourly contract. This is a contract that states the hourly rate you will be paid, the number of hours you will work, and the dates of work. If you do not have an hourly contract, you are not eligible for payment protection.

You must have a client with a verified billing method. A verified billing method is a credit card, PayPal account, or other funding source that can be used to pay you.

If your client does not have a verified billing method, you are not eligible for payment protection.

You must log your hours with the UpWork Desktop. The UpWork Desktop is a software application that allows you to track your work hours and submit them to your client. If you do not use the UpWork Desktop, you are not eligible for payment protection.

By checking all three of these boxes, you qualify for UpWork’s Payment Protection for Hourly Jobs. This means that if your client does not make a payment, you will still be paid for the hours you have worked. To learn more about this protection, please visit UpWork’s website.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that the Upwork Payment Protection for Hourly Jobs is only available to those who meet the following criteria:
-You Must Have an Hourly Contract
