As part of the Candidate-screening process, 360WORK's Relationship Managers assign various Assessments to shortlisted candidates to examine a candidate's knowledge and proficiency in certain technical areas. This is a free-of-charge service for all Hirers and Employers who use 360WORK Services.
10. Funds and Payments
When a Freelancer sends a proposal for a Project, they must ask the Hirer for at least 50% of the total payment required to carry out the Project. The deposited amount will be secured in the Escrow account. Once the amount is secured in the Escrow account, neither the Freelancer nor the Hirer are able to withdraw the deposited amount without the fulfilment of the agreed Project and approval of both parties.
The Freelancer must ask for 100% of the payment required to carry out the Project before delivering the final Project to the Hirer. This is to protect payments and avoid frauds between Freelancers and Hirers.
On completion of the Project, the Freelancer should raise an invoice for the total agreed amount that is available in the Escrow account. The Hirer will review the work delivered by the Freelancer and approve the invoice.
Once the invoice has been approved by the Hirer, the funds will be transferred from the Escrow account into the Freelancer’s account. The Freelancer can then withdraw the available funds.
If the Hirer fails to respond and/or release the funds for the invoice raised by a freelancer, the freelancer can raise a dispute which will be handled through our dispute resolution team.
You agree that you will only use the payment system on our Platform for paying funds into your Account or paying other Users (i.e. Freelancers) when they fulfil a Project, and will not use any other systems or services for payment to Freelancers.
Additionally, all Users fully acknowledge and accept that we are not a Financial or Banking institution and as such, we will not provide any interest on your funds or any other financial benefits provided by Financial and Banking Institutions.
360WORK provides a secure financial transactions process, by the way of 3D Secure Payment protocols. 3D Secure protocols ensure that all Online User Credit and Debit Card transactions are authenticated with the Issuing Bank, in real-time.

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring the fulfilment of your obligations to other Users with whom you enter the User Contract. Failure in fulfilling your obligations means that you have infringed this User Agreement and that you are liable to that User and will be penalised in accordance with this Agreement and the local/regional and/or International Laws applicable to your specific situation.
19. Limits and Fraud Prevention
A Freelancer can only start working on a Project after the Hirer deposits the required funds into their Escrow account.
To ensure that both the Freelancer and Hirer are treated fairly and payments are protected, the funds will be locked in the Escrow account and cannot be taken out until the Project has been delivered and marked as complete by Hirer.
If the Hirer fails to respond and/or release the funds for the invoice raised by a freelancer, the freelancer can raise a dispute which will be handled through our dispute resolution team. If the Hirer is not satisfied with the quality of the material posted by the Freelancer, the Hirer must open a dispute by using our Dispute Policy, as laid out in this Agreement.
If we feel that fraud may be involved, we may delay payments to your Account for up to 21 days. This is to allow time for investigation into the situation and resolving the issue.
20. Cancellations and Refunds
Cancellations
A Hirer may decide that they no longer wish to continue with a specific Project and/or they wish to cancel their Project. Similarly, a freelancer may no longer be able or wishing to continue working on a Project.
In these cases, the cancellation of work can only be fulfilled upon agreement between the both parties (i.e. the Hirer and the Freelancer).
The Hirer must contact the Freelancer they have hired, directly and explain with reason, their desire for cancellation of the Project.
Correspondingly, a Freelancer must contact the Hirer that they are working with directly and explain, with reason, their desire for the termination of their responsibilities and their contract.
The Hirer also agrees to the following:
- That our Service Fee charges apply on No Hire, No Fee basis – This means that Hirers will not incur charges if they do not hire anyone for the project(s) that they have posted, which they now wish to cancel.
- That the Hirer must pay the Freelancer for any work already completed, within 14-days of the Freelancer raising an invoice.
- That any Add-ons, such as Proposal Credit Upgrades are non-refundable.
- That the Dispute Resolution administration fee of 5% of the total dispute amount or £15.00 (whichever is greater) + VAT, is non-refundable.
Refunds
The Freelancers are required to work with the Hirers and deliver the Project as agreed; and a Hirer must pay the Freelancer for their work, in accordance with the agreed contract between them.
However, there are some cases where a Hirer or a Freelance could ask for a refund:
- If a Freelancer fails to deliver the Project, or if the Hirer is not satisfied with the work delivered, then the Hirer must not release any payments for the invoices raised by the Freelancer; and instead must Decline the invoice raised, with reasons for their decision.
- If circumstances change or if the freelancer changes their mind and is no longer able to work on a project, then the Hirer could ask for a refund for the money that they have already deposited into the project’s Escrow account, by opening a new Dispute for the deposited amount. The Freelancer must accept the Dispute raised of the Dispute Resolution process. Upon acceptance of the Dispute by the Freelancer, the money will be paid back into the Hirer’s account within 3-5 working days.
- If the Hirer posts a job but they later change their mind and wish to cancel their project or job, and at the same time, the Freelancer(s) has already started working on the job and has completed some work, then the Freelancer(s) must be paid for any work they completed. To do this, the Freelancer must raise an invoice and the Hirer must accept the invoice and the funds will be released into the Freelancer’s account.
- If the Hirer decides to cancel their project and the Freelancer has not yet completed any work for that project, then the Hirer could ask for a refund for the amount that they had deposited into the project’s Escrow account, by raising a new Dispute. The Freelancer must then agree to the Dispute, and the Hirer shall receive their refund in 3-5 working days.
We recommend that both the Hirer and Freelancer resolve any conflicts amongst themselves or in consultation with their 360WORK's Relationship Manager; but in cases where further assistance is required, the Hirer or the Freelancer can open a Dispute ticket and our Dispute Resolution Team will resolve the issue in accordance with the relevant facts and the evidence provided to them. If we agree to the refund, the money will be transferred back into the user Account within 3-5 working days. In some cases, it might take longer to transfer the funds.
Please note that if we notice that you have made an unreasonable or excessive number of requests for refunds, or that there several disputes raised on your Account between Hirers and Freelancers, we may launch a thorough investigation into your Account and accordingly, we may suspend or close your Account.
Please also note, unreasonable disputes may also affect your ranking on our website.
If you require further assistance regarding the Cancellations and Refunds, please contact our Customer Support Team.
21. Withdrawals
The minimum withdrawal amount is £10.00; however the maximum amount of funds you can withdraw for each payout is £5,000.00 (GBP), unless otherwise agreed with us in writing.
As per our Payment Processing Partner's guidelines, and depending on the country you are operating your business or services from, your payout may take between 24-48 hours to process.
However, for the purposes of security, we may delay larger payments for up to 21 days. This is to assist us with fraud prevention and/or with investigation into fraudulent cases.
