Independent contractors with Fixed and Pay As You Go contracts are able to add adjustments to their invoices for things like expenses and overtime.
These adjustments will be added to the invoice and must be approved by the client.
Once approved, the adjustments will be added to the current invoice cycle.
Clients can choose to pay out of cycle (one-off payments) before the official payment due date.
Contractors will see the funds in their account once the invoice payment has been processed.

FAQ
[ACCORDION] Can an invoice be adjusted after it has been finalized?
Technically, a finalized invoice cannot be adjusted or edited. When you select to edit an invoice that has already been issued, Deel will generate a replacement invoice instead.
A credit note is automatically issued to cancel out the original invoice. A new invoice is then generated automatically, replacing the original. The new invoice will reflect the changes entered and be available right away in Deel.
[ACCORDION] Can an adjustment be deleted?
Yes, contractors can delete an adjustment by clicking the blue trash bin next to the adjustment in the Invoice Details section.
If the adjustment is a recurring item, is it possible to remove the adjustment for the current payroll cycle only; or all future cycles.
Please note that if contractors remove an adjustment item from an invoice after it has already been issued, the invoice will be canceled and a new updated invoice will be created.
