Pay Structure

The Research Editor shows you the total compensation for the job you are working on.

• Analysts are paid $25 per hour of research.
• Some jobs also qualify for a bonus.

Bonuses are not reflected in the editor but instead are manually added before the end of each pay period by the Network Operations Support team.

Payday!

We appreciate the work you do, and we understand the importance of paying you for it promptly. Review the information below on payments to understand our system for processing them.

• Paydays occur on the 15th and 30th of each month. If this date happens to occur on a weekend, we will instead be paid on that Friday.
• All payments are sent via PayPal. It is very important to figure out how you will accept payments through PayPal now, as this is the only way we can pay analysts. Certain countries will need a third-party processor. Please check now to see what rules and regulations apply to the country you live in.
• The cutoff for completing jobs within a pay period is 11:59 PM EST on the day before you are paid. You will see any earnings for jobs completed after this time the next day once payment is distributed.
  • Do not worry if you complete a job after 12 AM ET and it does not show up immediately. It is saved in the system and will be applied as soon as we process payments on Thursday morning.
• The goal time for payout is 12 pm EST, but we aim to get it done earlier!
• You are paid the total sum of all Research earnings and bonuses you’ve accrued during that two-week period. You can view your earnings in the Earnings section of your dashboard.

You can also find these details in our WKC on the Payments page.
