As a freelancer, one of the most important aspects of your job is protecting your time. After all, if you’re not being paid for your time, what are you being paid for? This is where hourly protection comes in.
Hourly protection is a feature on UpWork that allows you to automatically track your time and bill your client accordingly. This way, you can be sure that you’re being paid for every minute that you work. And, if there are any disputes, you have the data to back up your claim.
In order to use hourly protection, you first need to set up a contract with your client. This contract will need to specify that you’re being paid by the hour, and it will also need to specify the rate that you’re being paid.
Once the contract is in place, you can then enable hourly protection for that contract.
Once hourly protection is enabled, UpWork will automatically track your time and bill your client accordingly. You can also choose to manually track your time, or use a third-party time tracking tool. Either way, UpWork will keep track of your hours and make sure that you’re being paid for them.
Hourly protection is a great way to protect yourself as a freelancer. By ensuring that you’re being paid for every minute that you work, you can be sure that you’re getting compensated fairly for your time.
Hourly protection is a great way for freelancers to protect their time and ensure they are getting compensated fairly. By setting up a contract specifying an hourly rate and enabling hourly protection in UpWork, freelancers can automatically or manually track their time worked and be confident they will get paid for every minute spent working on the project. In the event of any disputes, having this data readily available helps freelancers back up their claims.
