When do I get paid for assignments?

Explains that invoices are paid after completed assignments, paid within approximately 2-4 weeks.

You’ll be paid after you complete your assignments, but payment is not automatic — it relies on invoices. Invoices are typically paid within approximately 2–4 weeks after the assignment ends, depending on when a correct invoice is submitted and approved.

How invoicing works:

  • Automated system: A few days (normally 4) after an assignment ends, it will appear in your Quarterdeck invoice profile. You need to tick the assignment and create an invoice. Once ready, press Submit — if you leave it in “Pending,” it will not be processed.

  • QD Admin: Quarterdeck admins also have the ability to generate invoices on your behalf (e.g. if you forget or if corrections are needed). But this is a backup — the system is designed for you to submit your own invoices. Admin-generated invoices still need to be reviewed and batched with the rest before payment.

Processing & payment:

  • All invoices (yours or admin-created) go through a manual checking, correcting, and approval process.

  • Payments are made in weekly batches, so when you get paid depends on when your correct invoice enters the system.

  • Expect payment within 1–3 weeks of submitting a correct invoice, but delays can happen if details are missing. During peak season it's common with a slight delay but we try out best to pay asap.

Important reminders:

  • Bank details must be correct; if wrong, recalling payments can take 3–4 weeks.

  • Manual expenses (flights, damages, approved reimbursements) must be submitted within two weeks with receipts.
