Pay the worker

Workers will Request Payment when they are due to be paid, as defined in the job details.

This will raise an online invoice which you can pay, or dispute and ask the worker to change.

Easily pay with our system. You can also pay directly yourself or pass the invoice on to someone else to pay, no Grafter account required.

Mark the invoice ‘Paid’ to confirm that the payment was made.

Rate and Review

After the job is complete, the client can review the worker, providing a star rating and written review.

This is an important step as it provides an incentive for people do a good job. It also helps good grafters find more work, or warns other clients about poor performers!
