What Happens When a Task Exceeds the Estimated Hours

If a task runs longer than estimated, automated overage billing keeps taskers compensated for actual time worked.


Automated overage billing

If a task runs longer than the original estimate, automated overage billing is triggered. The client is notified and billed for the additional hours at the same rate as the original task.

Taskers are always paid for real time

This system ensures taskers are always compensated for the actual time they work, even when a job turns out to be more involved than expected.

Set realistic estimates

Clients are encouraged to set realistic estimates up front to avoid unexpected charges. A clear, accurate task description helps ops and the tasker scope the job correctly the first time.
