Weekly payment cycle

WorkBolt processes payments on a weekly basis every Thursday.
1

Submit work by Wednesday 12:00 PM PST

All tasks submitted and approved by Wednesday at 12:00 PM PST are included in that week’s payout. Work submitted after this cutoff rolls into the following week’s payment cycle.
2

Quality review

Submitted tasks go through quality review. Reviewers assess your work against the project’s quality standards. Approved tasks are added to your earnings balance.
3

Payout by Thursday 11:59 PM

Payments for all approved work are processed and delivered by Thursday at 11:59 PM. Funds are transferred through Dots to your configured payout method.
4

Withdraw funds

Once funds appear in your Withdrawable Balance on the Earnings page, you can withdraw them at any time through the Dots withdrawal flow.
Make sure your work is submitted before the Wednesday 12:00 PM PST cutoff. Any tasks submitted after this deadline will be included in the next week’s payment, not the current one.
