Multiple Hourlies Purchased at the Same Time

Hi there,

So my problem isn't really a problem because my hourlie is being purchased! So let me explain why it's a sort of problem...

I recently landed a new client, he inquired about an hourlie I've posted and wanted to know if I could do multiple up-coming jobs for him if the first one worked out, to which I replied of course and worked on the first hourlie as a pilot project. The client was very happy to move forward with the next 4 hourlies and purchased them on the spot, this is where the problem comes in - I have a 3 day turn around on the specific hourlie he purchased, so for 4 hourlies would need a total of 12 days to turn around.. but because he purchased them all on the spot I now have 3 days to turn around 4 hourlies. So I'm worried about the repercussions of late hourlies that aren't in-fact late in reality, has anyone experienced this?

Kind regards, Michael.

  you cannot  pause purchased ones, but you can agree with your client for a delivery date, I mean that counter you see is not going to -explode- it's just a reminder and it won't penalize you unless the client complaints about the delays

  It's the same scenario when you finish the Hourlie deliver work and raise invoice, but the clients delays to release funds, the counter will keep harassing you :)

  Another scenario, for tasks that take more than 5 days, you cannot add that in your Hourlies, as max delivery duration is 5 days.

  Happened to me once, with people who buy Hourlies without asking..., if this happens with multiple clients you just need to queue em :)

  Update: I'm looking for a way to pause some of the active hourlies, is there something like that?

  Yes there is a way to manage your Hourlies and pause them:

  https://www.peopleperhour.com/hourlie/manage

  Click the drop-down list :
  you can pause view feature edit or delete.

  Also go to the settings  : https://www.peopleperhour.com/settings/availability

  and put the desired max open orders, working days and off days.

  Thank you, this is great but what I am looking for is to pause a specific, active hourlie as 4 were purchased at the same time.

  I see. Thanks a lot, Mohammed. I was just a little worried about negative ratings and such but now I can put my mind at ease :)

  You'r ewelcome, yes nothing to worry about, I asked CS about it via live chat a time ago, and they explained that it won't explode when the seconds reach 0, so no need to search for green or red wires.
