When do I need to pay the deposit and final balance?

Learn when the deposit and final balance are due for a Quarterdeck staff booking, including how payment works for shorter assignments, consecutive weekly bookings, and longer monthly placements.

Payment timing depends on the length and structure of the Assignment.

For a standard booking, Quarterdeck requires payment in advance to secure the Booking. For shorter assignments, payment is usually handled on a weekly basis. For longer assignments, usually four consecutive weeks or more, payment may be handled on a monthly basis. Quarterdeck will confirm the payment structure for the Booking in writing.

Short bookings and weekly assignments

For shorter bookings, payment is usually made weekly in advance. A deposit or advance payment may be required to secure the Booking, and the booked period is normally paid before the Assignment starts.

Consecutive weekly bookings

If the same Staff Member is booked for multiple consecutive weeks, payment is usually handled weekly in advance unless Quarterdeck agrees a different structure in writing. This means each upcoming booked period is normally paid before it begins.

Longer assignments and monthly placements

For longer bookings, usually four consecutive weeks or more, Quarterdeck may structure payment on a monthly basis. In those cases, payment is usually made monthly in advance, and the exact billing cycle will be confirmed by Quarterdeck in writing.

If the Assignment starts soon

If the Start Date falls within 30 days of Booking Confirmation, Quarterdeck may require full payment immediately or within a shorter period confirmed in writing.

Important point

A Booking is only secured once Quarterdeck confirms it in writing and the required payment due at that stage has been received. If payment is late, Quarterdeck may suspend the Booking, withhold introductions or Assignment details, withdraw the proposed Staff Member, or cancel the Booking in line with the Staff Booking Terms.

In summary

Shorter assignments are usually paid weekly in advance. Longer assignments, usually four consecutive weeks or more, may be paid monthly in advance. If the Assignment starts soon, Quarterdeck may require full payment immediately. The exact payment structure for the Booking will be confirmed in writing.
