Payment Under review

 I just started my first project three weeks ago. I am on my third week now.

I have an hourly contract.

 

So when I check my payment overview I see my second-week payment in under a review.

Does that Client have to make a payment to Upwork first? I know they have 5 days to review

What happens after 5 days if the client didn't make the payment?

Hi Stephy,

 

Congratulations on your first contract! 

Since this is an Hourly Contract, you are paid based on the Weekly Billing Cycle:

 

Week 1 – You log time using the Upwork desktop app and Work Diary.
Week 2 – Hours within the weekly limit are automatically invoiced to your client on Monday. They have until Friday to review the work. Then the review period ends.
Week 3 – Earnings become available on the following Wednesday.

 

Your client doesn't need to make any payment manually, they can only file a dispute during the review period. If no action is taken on their end, your funds will be released to you as detailed above.

 

Thanks!
