Hi Muhammad.

As far as I know, direct contracts doesn't count for JSS or earnings.

No, Direct Contracts are entirely separate from your public Upwork profile and stats. They don't show up in JSS, total earnings, or even job history. but they are available for you to view in your private reports.

Hi Muhammad,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I would like to clarify that since you and your client will only be using Upwork for payments, any Direct Contracts will not impact your Upwork reputation metrics (for example your Job Success Score or Top Rated status). These contracts also will not be included in your other Upwork profile stats, such as total earnings, number of jobs, etc.

You can find more information in this help article.

I dont believe it is included in your total earnings. Neither does it contribute to any ratings whatsoever! Hope this helps! 😃
