Your client failed to pay for your hour(s) and you did not track your hours in a way that would qualify for protection.

Did you use the tracker, had meaningful work memos and fair activity levels?

Hi Yash,

I'm sorry to hear about this. On hourly contracts when a client fails to pay for the hours logged by the freelancer and those hours don't meet the requirements for Hourly Protection, the payment may be reversed.

Our team will also be reaching out to you via email with more information.

Thank you!

Hi,

I added manual time because it was small job and after that client finished contract, but after 8-10 days yesterday it's auto refund to client. So, that means the JOB i done for them is free fore them? I think this is not good, it was small job, if i it was big contract, then i may loss more amount?

If you don't track your time according to the terms of the Hourly Protection, then yes.

It wasn't technically refunded because the client never paid it in the first place.
