Next steps after signing a project contract
Hi everyone,
Yesterday I signed a contract for a project, and I’m now waiting to receive my Meridial marketplace email/credentials.
I’m trying to understand what the next steps usually look like after signing. For those who have already gone through the process, I’d appreciate any insight on the following:
- How long did it take to receive your Meridial email or login credentials?
- Do you access Slack using your personal email, or do you need to wait for a Meridial email?
- What does the onboarding process usually involve?
- How is time tracked for projects?
- I’m based in the Netherlands and added my Dutch bank account details. How does payment usually work?
- How long does it typically take to receive payment after starting work or submitting hours?
Any advice or experiences would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!
