Freelance work comes with its own set of unique challenges. Onboarding quickly, fitting into a company culture, juggling projects, finding the next gig – they are all occupational hazards of independent contractors. But there may be no aspect of freelancing that is as difficult or unpredictable as getting paid for your work.

Imagine doing a job you love, in an industry that gets you excited, enjoying a flexible schedule – and then you send an invoice to your client. You wait. Then you wait some more. You gently remind your client that it’s time to pay, only for them to sit on your invoice a bit longer. The work is done. You’ve fulfilled your end of the deal. Yet you’re left to worry about covering that car payment or house note because, months later, you haven’t been paid for services rendered.

Although it seems straightforward, particularly when a contract is involved, taking action when an invoice remains unpaid tends to be complicated and expensive. A contractor begins to weigh being compensated less on a regular basis versus continuing to live with an unpredictable income. Worse, many freelancers can’t even afford to offload a client that pays eventually – even if they’re routinely late. It’s enough to drive a freelancer back to the traditional labor force.

In a perfect world, independent contractors would be paid every two weeks, just like their full-time counterparts. They would enjoy access to health insurance but be able to retain the freedom and flexibility of a freelance lifestyle.

Guess what? It’s possible. Today.

Through PeopleCaddie, contractors are paid every two weeks, and they have access to high-quality health insurance. As a freelancer, you don’t have to wait months to be paid anymore. Work for who you want, when you want. Get paid on time. Visit your doctor for regular checkups!

It’s this progressive model that has earned PeopleCaddie attention for helping companies adapt to a changing workforce. It goes without saying that an independent contractor who isn’t worried about paying their bills from month to month is a happier, more focused, more productive team member. Ditto for insurance coverage, which also attracts a higher quality of contractor.

For independent contractors who work through PeopleCaddie, getting paid is as easy as tracking and entering their time on our app, which ensures payment via direct deposit every two weeks. No more spending time off the clock tracking hours and creating detailed invoices, only for them to gather dust on a client’s desk for weeks or months.  

Nobody starts freelancing to spend time fighting and haggling over getting paid. Why not work in a more synergistic manner, where discussions can center around the work at hand, rather than overdue payments? PeopleCaddie combines the best of both traditional and independent work models to maintain a top-tier talent cloud that benefits both member companies and contractors.
