Submit Worksheet

Worksheet is a summary report of the work completed for Hourly and Pay Per Task projects. It is a collaborative way of sharing your work status and details with the Buyer. LimeExchange strongly recommends you to log work and time regularly as it is a claim of work done and ensures timely payments as well.

Billing Cycle 

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 completed, date and work attachments.

How do I log work?

  • Login to your LimeExchange account
  • Go to Projects --> Manage Projects tab and click the project name link you want to log work for

  • Click on Log Work to add the work you have completed for the project
  • Select a task from the list available or create new tasks you have done
  • Add number of tasks or hours you have completed in the week
  • Add comment for the buyer and submit your work sheet for buyer's approval

Submission of worksheet

Service Providers should log the work they have completed in a given Billing Cycle and submit it to 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 incomplete worksheet will be automatically submitted for Buyer’s approval if Service Provider fails to submit it within the given time. In that case service Provider will waive his right to claim any additional payments for work completed in that Billing Cycle. Hence, it is suggested to submit your worksheet within 48 hours to avoid auto submission of an incomplete worksheet.

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.

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 credited to the Service Provider wallet. If Buyer rejects the worksheet, it will be sent back to the Service Provider for appropriate action and resubmission.

The rejected worksheet for a week that started from Friday will look like this:

Click the Edit and Re-Submit button. Make appropriate changes in the worksheet as per the Buyer's comments or the discussion held with the Buyer.

A completed worksheet before resubmission will look like this:

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.

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. Please note:

  • 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 will be charged from the Buyer’s account and credited to the Service Provider's account after deducting the applicable Lime Exchange Fee.

Bonus

In addition to the existing 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 Buyer's 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 applicable processing charges.

Tip: It is recommended to update your worksheet regularly and add attachments to help buyer review his project and also keep a track of the progress. An efficient provider who completes his worksheet brightens his chances of getting rewarded and receiving more business in the future.
