Item descriptionFrequently Asked Questions: Payments for Contractors

When will I receive payment for my work?

Payments for contractors are made on a Net 30 basis, which means you will receive your payment 30 days from the delivery of the completed project.

What does "Net 30" mean?

"Net 30" refers to the payment term where your payment is due 30 days after the final delivery of the project. For example, if you deliver the project on September 1st, you can expect to receive payment by October 1st.

How is the delivery date determined?

The delivery date is the day when the project is finalized and submitted to the client. Once the project is officially delivered and accepted, the 30-day payment period begins.

What happens if there is a delay in the project delivery?

If there is a delay in the project delivery, the Net 30 payment term will begin from the new delivery date. Payment will be made 30 days from when the project is successfully delivered and accepted.

How will I know when the project has been delivered?

You will receive a notification once the project is delivered. This notification will include the delivery date, which you can use to calculate when your payment will be made.

Who do I contact if I haven't received payment after 30 days?

If you haven't received your payment after the 30-day period, please contact the payroll team at payroll@movemountains.co. They will assist you in resolving the issue.

Can I request early payment?

Currently, early payment requests are not accommodated. All payments are processed on the Net 30 schedule as outlined in your contract.

How are payments processed?

Payments are processed through the payment method you provided during onboarding. Please ensure your payment details are up to date in the portal to avoid delays.

What should I do if I notice an error in my payment?

If you notice any discrepancies in your payment, please reach out to the payroll team immediately with the details of the issue at payroll@movemountains.co. They will investigate and correct any errors as quickly as possible.
