PAYMENT

[#1]

Hello, Good day, Please i would like to ask if the client can end the contract when the funds has not yet been released to me.

It was an hourly manual time job. i imputed the time last monday and today which is a week later the invoice has been sent to him. He confirmed that he has marked it as done but he wants to end the contract and i checked and saw that the fund is still under Review section.

Yes, contracts can be closed while there are pending payment. You'll get the earnings as normal.

Oluwasayo,

You should be very careful using manual time instead of tracking time via Upwork's TimeTracker app.

Under Upwork's rules, a client has no obligation enforceable by Upwork to pay for manual time logged in by a freelancer, even if the client has "allowed" the freelancer to use manual time.
