This article explains how clients and independent contractors can submit work to clients for payment for Pay As You Go and Milestone contracts.

The permission to submit work is set from client accounts. If you are an independent contractor and cannot submit work to clients for payment, please reach out to your client.

Contractors on Fixed Rate contracts do not need to manually submit work for approval, as invoices are automatically generated based on your contract details. However, you can add adjustments like expenses and overtime by selecting Add Item.

Submitting work with a Pay As You Go contract

Select the Contract Overview tab, and add the hours and minutes that you worked.

Add a description of the work, and attach any files if needed.

Click Add Submission.

If your client enabled the "Only Client Can Submit Work" option during the contract creation, then you will not see a submit work section. Your client will be responsible for submitting hours.

Submitting work with a Milestone contract

When you have completed a milestone you can mark it as completed from your Contracts page.

Deel will generate an invoice and forward it to your client for approval.

You can not add adjustments to Milestone contracts.

You can also add your own milestones to a contract by clicking Add A Milestone on the Overview tab.

Add a description of the work and a name for the milestone, then add the payment amount you are requesting.

Milestones can only be paid once completed and approved.

The permission to submit work is set from client accounts. If you are an Independent Contractor and cannot submit work to clients for payment, please reach out to your client.
