If your contract is a milestone contract, your pay is tied to delivering specific outcomes. You submit each milestone when the work is done, your employer reviews it, and once approved, the payment credits to your Shor account.Documentation Index

Where Milestones Live
Milestones are part of the contract itself, not a standalone tab. To see or submit one:- Go to Contracts on your dashboard
- Open the contract in question
- Scroll to the Milestones section
Milestone Statuses
| Status | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Pending | Defined in the contract but not yet started or submitted |
| Submitted | You’ve submitted the deliverable; awaiting employer review |
| In Review | Your employer is reviewing the submission |
| Approved | Employer accepted the deliverable; payment is queued |
| Completed | Milestone done; payment is being processed |
| Paid | Payment has landed in your Shor account |
| Rejected | Employer sent it back with feedback; you can revise and resubmit |
Submitting a Milestone
Attach Your Deliverables
Add anything that proves the work is done: files, links, notes, screenshots. Be specific so the employer can review quickly.
What Happens After Submission
Your employer reviews the deliverable and either:- Approves it: the milestone moves to approved, the payment is queued, and credits to your Shor account once processed.
- Rejects it: the milestone comes back with a rejection reason. You can update the deliverable based on the feedback and resubmit without any penalty or delay.
If a Milestone Is Rejected
Rejection isn’t a failure; it’s just “not done yet.” The rejection note from your employer tells you what’s missing. Revise the deliverable, replace the attachments, and click Submit for Review again. The status moves back to Submitted and review starts over.Getting Paid
Once the milestone is Approved, the payment follows the contract’s payment terms. It shows up in:- Finance → Payments: with status Processing then Completed
- Finance → Accounts: your balance goes up in the contract’s currency
- Finance → Transactions: the full record of money movement
Tips
Be Specific in the Deliverable
Be Specific in the Deliverable
The faster your employer can confirm “yes, this is done,” the faster you get paid. Links to finished work, before/after screenshots, or a short summary of what changed all help.
Don't Submit Partial Work
Don't Submit Partial Work
If a milestone is defined as “Phase 1 complete with signoff from the team,” don’t submit when only you think it’s done. Wait for the team’s signoff; otherwise it bounces back.
Use the Notes Field for Context
Use the Notes Field for Context
If anything about the deliverable needs explanation (scope changes, dependencies, anything unusual) add it as a note when you submit. Saves a back-and-forth.
Ask About Milestone Changes Before Submitting
Ask About Milestone Changes Before Submitting
If the scope has shifted and the original milestone doesn’t quite apply anymore, message your employer from the contract page. Adding or amending a milestone requires a contract amendment both sides sign.
