I didn't get payment for work

[alexis-arinze]

Greetings, lovely people

I've been working with this client who ghosted me when I delivered the final product and when it was time to release the payment. It's been 14 days and the money is still 'in review.' I thought it would immediately go into pending status after 14 days. Should I wait one more day or is there something I have to do? I've never had to wait the full 2 weeks, and so, I'm not sure of the proper protocol.

(*thanks for your time)

The release of payment doesn't happen IMMEDIATELY when the time ticks over to 14 days.

Just wait a few hours more.

Within a day the money will be released to you.

Well, I would suggest you wait for a few days because the wait is much better than a clash with a client or dispute. hopefully you it will reflect in a couple of days.

Best of luck ahead

Kiesha:
The most important thing for you to do is to figure out what you did wrong.

You need to understand what you did wrong, so that you don't make the same mistake again in the future.

We can help you figure out what you did wrong. Please answer these questions:

a) Were you officially hired? (Do you see the contract listed here: Upwork -> My Jobs -> My Jobs

b) Was this a fixed-price or hourly contract?

c) If this was an hourly contract, did you log your time?

d) If this was a fixed-price contract, did you click the "Submit Work for Payment" button?
