Can I Close Contract UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 9:40 pm

As a freelancer, you may be wondering whether you can close your contract on UpWork. The answer is yes, you can close your contract on UpWork, but there are some things to keep in mind before doing so.

If you’re thinking about closing your contract on UpWork, it’s likely because you’re not happy with the work you’re doing, the client you’re working with, or both. Whatever the reason, if you’re not satisfied with the situation, it’s best to move on.

Before closing your contract, be sure to:

– Give your client a heads up. If possible, try to work out any issues you have before officially ending the contract. This way, your client isn’t blindsided and can find a replacement freelancer if need be.

PRO TIP: Upwork contracts cannot be closed by the freelancer. Only the client can close the contract.

– Make sure you have all the information you need. This includes any files or documents related to the project. Once the contract is closed, you won’t be able to access these things, so be sure you have everything you need before taking this step.

– Read over the contract cancellation policy. UpWork has a specific policy in place for cancelling contracts, so make sure you’re familiar with it before proceeding.

Once you’ve taken care of these things, closing your contract on UpWork is simple. Just go to the My Jobs tab and click theEnd Contractoption next to the relevant job.

From there, confirm that you want to cancel and provide a brief explanation for why you’re doing so. And that’s it! Your contract will be officially ended.

Keep in mind that closing a contract isn’t always the best solution. If possible, try to work out any issues you have before taking this step. But if ending the contract is what’s best for both parties involved, then go ahead and close it up on UpWork.
