Hi Jeffrey,
Thank you for reaching out and raising this query. For all of your hourly contracts, your clients are automatically invoiced and billed for the hours you log according to the weekly billing cycle.
The weekly billing period begins Monday at 00:00 midnight UTC and ends Sunday at 23:59 UTC. Because the Upwork marketplace includes freelancers and clients from all across the globe, we base all Reports on this standardized timing.
At 12 noon UTC on the Monday following the close of the billing period, we automatically invoice clients for hourly contracts. We charge their primary billing method and send them a reminder to review the contract’s Work Diary.
You may review this help article for more details on how to get paid on hourly contracts.
