We're determined to make global hiring feel more like magic every day.

1. An invoice can now be previewed without downloading it off-platform.
2. When no invoices are due, we'll let you know when the next payday is.
3. Contracts signed by all parties and within an active period are referred to as "Active" contracts, replacing the previous "In Progress" status.

Improvement

Payouts now start 1-2 days before payday, which helps contractors get paid on time, every time. Previously weekends, banking holidays, or cross-border delays could get in the way. Not anymore.
