Usually, you pay your contractors based on the payment cycles in the contracts (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.).
However, if you want to pay your contractor outside of an already set payment cycle, you can perform an one-off, off-cycle payment.
Off-cycle payments are not possible for Milestone contracts, because the contractor is paid only after completing a predetermined milestone and there are no regular invoice cycles
