Getting Paid: Invoice & Payment

The Payment Process

Here's how you get paid for your work on Automate America.

Payment Flow

1. You submit timesheet (weekly)
2. Customer approves your hours
3. Invoice generated (automatic)
4. Customer pays invoice (on the net terms set for the contract)
5. You receive payment (direct deposit, on those net terms)

Invoice Generation

Once your timesheet is approved, an invoice is automatically created.

Invoice Details Include

• Hours worked and rates
• Overtime hours at the contract's overtime rate
• Approved expenses
• Total amount due

Automate America does not charge you a fee to be paid; you are paid the rate you saw when you applied.

Payment Terms

Every contract carries the net terms the customer chose when posting it — for example Net 15, Net 30 or Net 60. The terms are shown on the contract, and your payment follows them.
