Charged unexplained salary amount in excess of the hourly rate (1.5x) and processing fee

I have a running contract with a freelancer @$30 per hour. He worked for 14 hours this week so the amount charged to me should be $420.

However, a total of $645 have been charged to me which is incorrect. This includes a $225 payment of "Salary" amount which we never agreed to. I don't dispute the 14 hours that were worked for, I only dispute the extra amount that was charged from me. 

The terms were clear that the amount of pay will be based on an hourly rate of $30 and nothing more. Can someone help me resolve this confusion? PFB the images.

Hi Vaibhav,

 

The reason why you see charge is because you have added a Recurring Weekly Payment on the contract when you have sent the offer to the freelancer. Salary means that the freelancer will get paid weekly even if they don't track any time. 

 

At this moment the freelancer can issue a refund for the salary amount they have received. 

 

Let us know if you need any further assistance.
