What Happens if a Client Doesn’t Pay UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:10 am

There are a few different things that can happen if a client doesn’t pay up. First, the freelancer can try to work out a payment plan with the client. If that doesn’t work, the freelancer can file a claim with UpWork.

PRO TIP: If a client doesn’t pay upwork, they may be subject to late fees, interest, and collection activity.

UpWork will then look at the case and decide if the client should be forced to pay or not. If UpWork decides in the freelancer’s favor, they will take the money out of the client’s account and give it to the freelancer. If the client still doesn’t pay, UpWork will suspend their account.
