How hourly jobs work

You can choose hourly or fixed-rate jobs when you post your work on Cad Crowd.

When you post an hourly job, you will only be billed for the number of hours worked on your project on an hourly basis (minimum $10.00/hour). The rate can be discussed and negotiated during the proposal and interview process.

How hourly jobs work

Experts record their work timesheets for your job with the Cad Crowd App. You can track their work progress by reviewing their Work Journal. If you disagree with the time logged by the expert, you can contact our support team to discuss and resolve the issue.

  • Manual time: You can enable/disable manual time logged on timesheets
  • Weekly limit: You can choose a weekly limit of billable hours (i.e., 10 hours per week)

Billing schedule for hourly job contracts

When billing on an hourly basis, you will be charged every week. The expert records their work hours throughout the week until Sunday (11:59 p.m.(UTC timezone). The expert’s hours are billed automatically on Monday (12:00 p.m. / UTC timezone), and you have until the following Friday to review the work and submit a dispute (if needed). The funds are released to the freelancer on the following Wednesday.
