# Paid seven days from close out, at your rate

One invoice per job, by e-transfer or EFT. No percentage off the top, no fee to be paid on time, and no waiting on a batch.

There is no early pay program because there is nothing to speed up, and no percentage taken off the top.

## Seven days starts when the job closes out

1. **Work done.** The approved work is finished.
2. **Photos in.** Before and after, and the part that came out where there was one.
3. **Invoice in.** It matches the approved scope.
4. **Papers on file.** A current WSIB clearance and your insurance certificate.

A job missing one of the four is still open, and the clock has not started.

## One invoice, one customer, nothing deducted

- **One invoice per job.** Addressed to Roundhouse, with the job number, the address and unit, what was done and the agreed price.
- **Your HST number.** Show it if you charge HST.
- **Changes on their own line.** If the scope changed on site, the approved change is a separate line.
- **Nothing deducted.** No platform fee and no factoring charge. Roundhouse earns on its price to the client, not on your invoice.

## What holds a payment

Only the four close out items: an unfinished job, missing photos, an invoice that does not match the approved scope, or a lapsed WSIB clearance or insurance certificate. Once the missing item is in, the job closes and the seven days start.

## How the common payment models compare

| Model | When you are paid | What comes off |
|---|---|---|
| Batch pay | 30 days or more after a batch invoice | Nothing, unless you pay to be paid sooner |
| Percentage model | When the job closes | A fixed percentage of every payout |
| Reverse auction | On the platform's pay cycle | Your rate, bid down against the next trade |
| Roundhouse | Seven days from close out | Nothing |

> Your invoice is not where Roundhouse is funded. The rate you quote is the rate you are paid.

## Questions

### Who do I invoice for a Roundhouse job?

Roundhouse. Never the tenant and never the property manager. One invoice per job, with the job number on it.

### What happens if my WSIB clearance expires?

The payment waits until a current clearance is on file. A clearance lasts up to 90 days, so send the new one when it is issued and the next payment is not held.

### Am I paid for extra work I find on site?

Yes, once it is approved and added to the job's scope. Send photos and a price before you start it. Work done without approval is not on the approved scope, so it cannot go on the invoice.

### Is there a fee to be paid in seven days?

No. Seven days is the standard term, not an upgrade, and nothing is deducted from your invoice.

### Do I bid for the job or negotiate the invoice?

No. You quote your rate, we confirm it before the job, and you invoice that rate against the approved scope.
