Getting Paid Timezone

[morenoniceanne]

What time zone does the crediting day follow? Does it follow the time zone you are on? Or does it follow the time zone of Client or Upwork?

If the day that your pay will be credited is on Feb 3, 2021, does it follow your local timezone or does it follow the international one?

This is for an hourly rate with a weekly crediting every wednesday after review.

UTC, like everything on Upwork.

Thank you. I am 8 hours ahead. Does it get credited exactly by midnight of the said date in UTC? Is there any ways to change it? If it does not happen midnight in UTC, is the time/hour of crediting, is it random and do I just wait within the day and check for notifications?

No, it usually happens between midnight and not long after, but occasionally an hour or so later..

No, there isn't.

Just check after midnight UTC - it'll appear
