Payment Policy

What you earn

Every role shows its payout before you submit anyone, as an amount such as “₹50,000 on hire” or “$4 for every hour worked, up to 12 months”. The payout shown on the role when you submit your candidate is the one that applies to that submission. A later change never reduces it.

A payout can be:

• a one-time amount, fixed or a percentage of salary;
• recurring, per hour, week, month or year, for as long as your candidate keeps working and up to the cap shown;
• paid in installments, or as bonuses, conversion fees or milestones;
• or a combination of these.

The hiring company pays our fee. Nothing is deducted from your payout unless the role shows it before you submit.

When a payout is earned

• One-time payouts: on your candidate’s start date, or a stated number of days after it.
• Recurring payouts: when the hours or months worked are approved.
• Conversion fees: on the date the candidate converts.
• Milestones: when the milestone is completed.

Nothing is earned for an offer that is declined or withdrawn, or for a candidate who never starts.

When you are paid

Earned payouts are paid in the monthly payout cycle after the hiring company has paid us for them and any hold period on the role has passed. They are paid in the currency of the job, unless you choose another currency we support, to your verified payout account.

If a hiring company does not pay, we pursue it and pay you once we collect, less any third-party collection costs, which we show you. We cannot guarantee payouts we are unable to collect.

Who pays you

Your agreement is with Scrini AI Private Limited or its affiliate Sao Labs Inc., as it names for where you are based. Either company, or its affiliate, may make a payout, and each payout shows which one paid it. Individuals are paid to their own payout account; organisations are paid to the organisation’s account, whichever colleague submitted the candidate.

Your payout account

Add a bank account, UPI ID, PayPal account or Stripe account under Payouts. It must be in your own name, or your firm’s name. We can only pay once it is verified and complete. If a payment fails because the details are wrong, it is paid again once you correct them.

Taxes

• You are responsible for your own income tax, and GST or sales tax where it applies.
• We withhold tax where the law requires it: TDS in India, backup withholding in the US. We issue Form 16A, 1099-NEC or 1042-S as applicable.
• Add your tax details under Payouts: PAN, and GSTIN if registered, in India; Form W-9 or W-8BEN in the US.
• If you are registered for GST, you issue a valid tax invoice for each payout. We may generate it for you.

Tracking your payouts

The Payouts page shows every amount that is earned, held, payable, paid or reversed. If a statement looks wrong, tell us within 60 days of it.

If your hire leaves early

If a hire leaves within the role’s guarantee period, the hiring company chooses either a replacement candidate from you for the same role, within 30 days and with no extra payout, or a reversal of the one-time payout, in full or in part. Payouts for hours already worked are never reversed, except for fraud.

A reversed amount is taken from your next payouts. If none are due within 90 days, you repay it when we ask.

When a payout may be withheld or reversed

• The candidate was submitted without their consent, or their information was false.
• Another partner submitted the candidate first, or the candidate was already in process with the hiring company.
• You worked with the hiring company outside HiringWiring, against clause 5 of the Agreement.
• Fraud.

Questions and disputes

If a payout looks wrong or is missing, email partner@hiringwiring.com with the candidate and the role. We decide using the portal’s records and reply with what we found. You can ask for a review within 30 days of our decision.
