Our Incentives Program rewards Freelancers for their consistent performance and encourages them to invite Employers to Guru to work with security, flexibility and cost-efficiency.
Performance incentive is awarded to Freelancers for doing more work with Employers they have connected with on Guru. Once a Freelancer’s all-time earnings from an Employer are more than $25,000, they start earning performance incentive on all future transactions with that Employer. The performance incentive earned is 10% of the job fee collected by Guru on a transaction.
When Freelancers invite Employers to work with them on Guru, they earn a referral incentive on all transactions made by the Employer on Guru, including the ones with other Freelancers. The referral incentive earned is 15% of the job fee collected by Guru on those transactions. Freelancers earn referral incentives for 8 quarters after which they will earn performance incentive on every transaction with that Employer.
Incentives earned are credited into the Freelancer’s Cash Account on a quarterly basis, one month after the quarter ends. Refer to the table below for timelines:
| Quarter | Tentative Date of Credit to Cash Account |
|---|---|
| Q1 | April 30 |
| Q2 | July 31 |
| Q3 | October 31 |
| Q4 | January 31 |
Note:
- Incentives will be rewarded only on transactions done after 11th Feb, 2020.
