Review Worksheet

Worksheet is a summary report of the work completed by the provider for Hourly and Pay Per Task projects. It is a collaborative way of sharing project progress status provided by the Service Provider to the Buyer. LimeExchange strongly recommends you to review worksheet of your provider as it a claim of work done and ensures successful completion of your project.

Each Billing Cycle begins at 12:00 am GMT every Monday and ends at 11:59 pm GMT the following Sunday. The worksheet includes time, number of hours, tasks, date and work attachments.

• Go to Projects --> Manage Projects tab.

• Click the project name link to view the project details.

• Review the worksheet, add your comments and accept/reject the worksheet.

• To view the recent worksheets submitted by a provider on your project, please go to the 'Work --> Overview' tab of your project.

• To view all the worksheets submitted by a provider on your project, please click the 'View All Worksheets' link.

Please note that it is mandatory for the Service Providers to log the work they have completed in a given Billing Cycle and submit it to the Buyer within 48 hours from the end of each Billing Cycle (i.e. by the end of the Tuesday immediately following the end of the Billing Cycle). The worksheet will be automatically submitted for Buyer’s approval if Service Provider fails to manually submit it within the given period of time.

Approval/Rejection of a worksheet

Buyer must approve or reject the worksheet by 11:59 pm GMT on every Friday following the end of a Billing Cycle.

• If Buyer approves the worksheet, the payment will be released to the Service Provider.

• If Buyer rejects the worksheet, it will be sent back to the Service Provider for appropriate action and resubmission.
• If the Buyer fails to take any action within the given period of time, the worksheet will be considered to have been approved by the Buyer and the payment will be released to the provider accordingly.

• When the worksheet is automatically approved, the Service Provider will not be eligible to be paid for any Additional Work Log (as defined below).

Click the 'Work' tab and go to the week view of the worksheet submitted by the provider. You can accept/reject the worksheet from there.

Additional Work Log

Any work claimed by a Service Provider in addition to what has been specified in the accepted bid shall be considered an Additional Work Log.

• It shall be discretionary for the Buyer to approve or reject the additional work as claimed by the Service Provider. The Buyer can approve or reject the additional work as claimed by the Service Provider.
  
• If the Buyer rejects the additional work, the Service Provider would not be able to claim for the payment of that additional task.
  
• If the Buyer approves such work, the excess payment shall be charged from the Buyer’s account and credited to the Service Provider's account after deducting the LimeExchange Fee. 

Tasks

All tasks that have been logged for a project can be viewed under the Tasks tab. Click the Tasks tab and you will find all the details related to the tasks.

If some tasks have been created but no work has been logged against those tasks, then the creator of such tasks (may be a Service Provider or Buyer) can either delete them or edit them. For example, the task "HTML templates" in the following snap shot has 0 units logged against it. The creator of this task may Delete or Edit it by clicking on the relevant icon provided against it.

Bonus Reward

In addition to the agreed upon project payments, a Buyer may also decide to award bonuses to a Service Provider based on his performance and competency. An efficient provider who has completed the project successfully as per the buyers requirements may get rewarded with bonus payment from his buyer. If a Buyer awards bonus to a Service Provider, the bonus amount will be charged from the Buyer’s account and credited to the Service Provider’s account after deducting the processing charges.

Reward Points

Buyers will earn reward points under the Buyer Reward Program on successful completion of each billing cycle. Buyers can redeem those reward points by posting a new project or buying exciting gifts from LimeExchange Product Catalog.
