Elance Escrow
2009-11-12T20:54:15-08:00
<h3>Overview<span style="line-height: 16px; color: #333333; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h3>
<p>Elance Escrow is an integral part of the Elance <a href="http://help.elance.com/forums/30969/entries/34623">Online Work System</a>, and is a safe and convenient way to pay for the work delivered. Elance Escrow is a win-win and confidence-builder for both parties. Here’s how.</p>
<p>Once arrangements are made, milestones are set, and funds are placed into Escrow, providers can get started on performing the work, knowing that the money is there waiting for them once they deliver the results. Employers benefit from using Escrow by avoiding pre-payments, deposits, or otherwise paying for work that does not meet the standards they established in the hiring process.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Elance Escrow is built so that each milestone is able to be funded individually, so that large jobs can be broken up easily into smaller pieces, with payments being released upon each milestone completed.</p>
<p>There are many benefits to using Elance Escrow, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Better communication between providers and employers by tying payments to work deliverables.</li>
<li>Quicker start on jobs by providers who can start work knowing that funds are available for the job.</li>
<li>Eligibility for <a href="http://elance.zendesk.com/forums/30972/entries/34320">Elance Dispute Assistance</a> in the event that a job does not go as planned. <br /></li>
</ul>
<p>Escrow is part of the Elance Online Work System, and is included at no additional cost as part of the standard service fees. </p>
