How you get paid

Per job, at a rate we agree with you before your first one. The money is already paid and held before the job reaches you, so there is nobody to chase afterwards.

There is no automatic payment system yet — we pay you directly. That is one of the things that will change as this grows, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise.

If a job is not right

Say so and it is cancelled with a reason. Whoever booked it gets their money back in full. Turning down work you should not take costs you nothing here, and it is better than doing it badly.
