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.

• Pending invoices

Payment Terms

The customer chooses the payment terms when they post a contract — for example Net 15, Net 30 or Net 60. A contract shows its terms when the customer has chosen them, and your payment follows them.

Receiving Payment

Add the bank account you are paid into in the banking section of your profile.

Payment Schedule

• Payment follows the net terms set for each contract (shown on the contract once the customer has chosen them)
