What the platform publishes in general. These are not extra terms confirmed for this particular role.
- Getting paid
- Paid monthly, around the 5th, straight to your bank account, or inside Deel on projects run through Deel. Its help articles disagree on whether that is the 5th calendar day or business day. help.turing.com/articles/9691407757-project-onboarding, help.turing.com/articles/6582454854-what-if-i-haven-t-rec..., help.turing.com/articles/1226770947-project-offboarding
- Before your first paid task
- A short application, with tests on some roles. Turing's review article says an interview is typically required for all roles. Onboarding covers the terms, ID verification with a driver's license or passport, and tax and payment details. help.turing.com/articles/2020987592-apply-for-jobs-at-turing, help.turing.com/articles/9179629201-how-long-does-the-app..., help.turing.com/articles/9691407757-project-onboarding
- How much work
- Review takes from 48 hours to 6 weeks after you finish applying, and the client makes the final choice. No reply within 6 weeks usually means you were not selected. help.turing.com/articles/9179629201-how-long-does-the-app..., help.turing.com/articles/2020987592-apply-for-jobs-at-turing
- Contract
- Depending on the project, the engagement rests on Turing's Terms of Service and a Service Agreement, on Deel, or on a partner that provides the contract. help.turing.com/articles/6582454854-what-if-i-haven-t-rec...
