Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:42 am

If you’re not happy with the work you’re getting from your hourly contract on UpWork, you can cancel it. Here’s how:

First, go to your Jobs page and find the contract in question. Then, click on the More button and select Cancel Contract from the dropdown menu.

You’ll be given the option to provide a reason for cancelling the contract. Once you’ve selected a reason, click on the Cancel button to confirm.

PRO TIP: If you cancel your hourly contract on Upwork, your freelancer will no longer be able to work on your project. Make sure you have a solid plan in place before cancelling, as this could impact your business.

If you have any funds in escrow, they will be released to you once the freelancer has accepted the cancellation. You can then withdraw those funds or use them to hire another freelancer.

It’s important to note that, once a contract is cancelled, you will not be able to re-hire that freelancer. So if you think there’s a chance you might want to work with them again in the future, it’s best to just leave the contract open until both parties are satisfied with the work that’s been done.

In conclusion, cancelling an hourly contract on UpWork is easy to do and only takes a few steps. Just remember that once a contract is cancelled, you won’t be able to re-hire that freelancer, so only do it if you’re sure you’re finished working with them.
