Important Update on December & January Payment Schedule for Freelancers
Freelancers on our weekly payroll will continue to receive payments every Friday throughout December and January, including Friday, 2 January. However, please note that we cannot process payroll on Friday, 26 December (Boxing Day).
To ensure you receive payment during Christmas week, the payroll date has been moved forward to Wednesday, 24 December.
Here’s how the schedule will work:
- The previous payroll will run as normal on Friday, 19 December.
- The cut-off for accepting bookings for the 24 Dec payroll has been moved forward to Wednesday, 17 December.
- The 24 December payroll will cover a shorter period and include payments for work completed between 15 and 17 December only.
- Any work completed between 18 and 21 December will be paid on Friday, 2 January.
- Work completed between 22 and 28 December will also be paid on Friday, 2 January.
Please accept your bookings earlier to avoid any delays with payments.
