4. Payment

What determines that you get paid

Each Code With Us opportunity is tagged with a fixed dollar amount. Getting paid that amount is dependent on you meeting all of the acceptance criteria. This should be signified by your final pull request being merged, and a comment from the opportunity contact on the pull request or issue stating that all of the criteria has been met.

Once this is done, you submit an invoice to the opportunity contact for payment.

Invoicing for payment

The opportunity contact will provide the details of who to make the invoice out to.

The amount on your invoice should be the fixed dollar amount that was stated in the opportunity. If you normally charge GST in your business, you can add it on top of the fixed price.

Example: If the fixed dollar amount was $3,000, make your invoice for $3,000 plus $150 GST (Total = $3,150).

Make sure your invoice includes:

• Date
• Legal Name or Legal Business Name
• A brief description of the work, referencing the specific title of the opportunity

Payment options

Please contact the Opportunity Contact to determine the types of payment the product owner is willing to use for the opportunity you are applying for. Some options they might choose for payment include:

• Online Credit Card Payment through a secure payment method that generates a receipt with the developers legal information (e.g. PayPal)
• Direct Deposit (EFT)
• Check

Taxes and fees

You are responsible to determine, manage and pay any:

• taxes, such as income tax and GST
• fees or applicable payments that may be incurred as a result of the payment (e.g. banking fees).
