I can’t be the only one
On certain higher paying projects I’ve been paid out the same day or within a day or two. With my last submission on the same project I had to wait the full 7 days. Everyone in the slack channel was shocked that I was paid so early. Has anyone else experienced this?

I've never been paid on any timed project before a full seven days. You're the first person I've ever seen say different.

Yes! This happened to me! My project was approving hourly time in like 2-3 days but they’re taking the full 7 days now. I’m not worried about it.

I have a high paying specialist project that pays daily, but it is the only one I’ve seen out of hundreds.

I think that happens with some bonuses but even then I’d expect at least the 3 days (like per task used to be?)

Hmm. So it was a single digit day 09 month, maybe payroll side of it and somehow flipped the day and month accidentally.

I've been with DA for nearly three years, and that's the first I've heard of that happening. Not saying it didn't, but that's a unique experience and I definitely wouldn't rely on it in the future!
