Good morning,
I have a contract that has ended. The client is hiring for a position within their organzation. Do I have to create a new contract and go through the conversion process with Upwork or can I take the job now that the contract has ended.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Melissa:
Upwork asks that freelancers continue to handle all payments through Upwork with any client that meet on Upwork, for a period of 2 years.
So it isn't about an individual contract. It's about a length of time.
You can work with this client using Upwork contracts, or do the conversion.

Melissa:
The position or nature of the work does not matter.
Upwork asks that freelances continue to maintain their contracts and payments through Upwork for a period of 2 years since the time they started working for a client, or go through the official conversion process.
Honestly, the simplest thing for you to do would be to have the client set up a new hourly contract and use that for payment and work-tracking purposes for 2 more years. And then if you want to revisit the working relationship after that, you can do so.

How do I find out what the conversion fee is?
It's in the ToS, I believe starting at around 3K.
