Frequently Asked Questions

It is your responsibility to comply with the tax legislation of your jurisdiction. To receive payments, you must select a payment method and complete the relevant tax forms in our system, such as a W-9 (for US contributors) or W-8 (for non-US contributors). Depending on the project type, there are different scenarios for completing these steps.

1. For your first remote data sourcing project or an on-site study:

   Once you successfully complete your first remote data sourcing project or participate in an on-site study, our Payments team will contact you to request your payment method and signed tax forms.

   • For remote data sourcing projects: You will be contacted after receiving the Quality Check results from the Project team.
   • For on-site studies: The Payments team will reach out within two business days after your completed session.

   Please respond promptly to communication from our Payments team to avoid delays. Be sure to also check your spam folder for emails from the Payments team.

2. For long-term roles:

   If you are selected for a long-term role, our Payments team will contact you to request your payment method and complete financial onboarding before you begin working.

   NOTES:

   • If you reside outside of the US, you will be asked to sign the W-8 form.
   • If you reside in the US, you will be asked to sign a W-9 form once your income reaches $600 within a calendar year.
   • You do not need to invoice the POs (purchase orders).
3. If you’re already a TransPerfect vendor for a division other than DataForce: Your standard payment terms and processes will apply.
4. If you join on an employment basis (full-time/part-time, temporary/permanent): You will be paid through payroll on a monthly or bi-weekly basis, depending on your location.

Once your payment method has been added, you can update your payment details for any transactions that have not yet been processed. To do so, visit: (https://hub.transperfect.com/private/) and update your details in the Payment Method section.

Compensation varies by project type and may be calculated per task, per hour, or a flat rate. Payment details are included in each job announcement at: https://dataforcecommunity.transperfect.com/.

For data sourcing projects, the available payment methods and payment terms for your location are listed on the job announcement page.

For remote projects:

You must first receive the Quality Check results to confirm your compensation. The Quality Check timeline will be provided in your “Welcome to the Project” email and varies by project (e.g., it can be 2 weeks or 6 weeks). After receiving the Quality Check results (often referred to as Quality Assurance or QA results), the payment terms begin, based on the payment method you selected.

For on-site studies:

Payment terms begin immediately after you have successfully completed the study on our premises.
