Faster payouts for hourly contracts

To Daniel

This was also my point. Really glad that someone shares my views. It does not make sense for a client to approve a project, but then Upwork still holds it for 5 more days. The client has already had enough time to ascertain that the work meets the requirements. Holding on it beats logic. It is rather the 14-day period for clients to review remains the same (though it can still be shortened/reduced), but the 5-day waiting period for fixed hour contracts is eliminated. That column should be removed as it does not add any value to Upwork, the client, or the freelancer. I wish there was a voting system so that we vote on such issues, but the only thing we can do is air out our grievances.

Fixed contracts payments were already being released in 5 days. This means now both hourly and fixed contracts will be paid out in 5 days. So what else do you need?

By my count, this is actually a reduction from 14 days to 9 days, and not 10 days to 5 days.

Thank you for listening to the community!

Bravo.  That 10 day hold can be excruciating in times like these.  Thank you for awarding those of us that have worked hard to earn that Top Rated distinction.
