What Happens if You File a Dispute on UpWork?

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

If you file a dispute on UpWork, the first thing that will happen is that the site will put a hold on the project funds. This means that the freelancer will not be able to access the money until the dispute is resolved. The next thing that will happen is that both parties will be asked to provide evidence to support their claims.

PRO TIP: If you file a dispute on Upwork, your account may be suspended or removed.

Once this evidence has been submitted, a mediator will review it and make a decision. If the mediator decides in favor of the freelancer, the funds will be released to them. If the mediator decides in favor of the client, the funds will be refunded to the client.
