How Do I Get Paid
Learn how to get paid safely and easily after being hired through OFM Jobs, with multiple payment options available.
For job seekersProcedural, with a trust component. Someone weighing whether the money side is safe.
Who pays you
You are paid by the employer who hired you, not by OFM Jobs. This platform is where the two of you find each other and agree terms. That distinction matters and it is worth being direct about it: it means the payment arrangement is between you and them, and it means you should treat the terms as something to agree explicitly rather than assume.
Payment methods are stated on the job
Every job posting names the payment methods that employer will use, and payout frequency is part of the posting too. Weekly, every two weeks, monthly and on completion are all common. Read both before you apply, because a role that pays monthly is a very different proposition from one that pays weekly if you are relying on the income.
Understand the pay structure before you start
Compensation on this platform can be a rate, a commission percentage, or a rate with commission on top. A commission figure is meaningless without knowing what it is a percentage of, which is why postings state the basis: gross revenue, net revenue, pay-per-view sales, tips, or something the employer defines.
- Confirm the rate and the currency.
- Confirm the commission percentage and what it is calculated on.
- Confirm the payout frequency and the first payment date.
- Confirm the payment method, and that you can actually receive money that way.
Settle it in writing
Agree the terms in messages before you start work, and keep them. It costs nothing, it takes one message, and it is the difference between a disagreement you can resolve and one that comes down to two people remembering differently.
Common questions
Does OFM Jobs pay me directly?
No. You are paid by the employer who hired you. The platform is where you find each other and agree terms.
How do I know which payment methods an employer uses?
They are listed on the job posting itself, alongside the payout frequency.
What should I confirm before starting work?
The rate and currency, the commission percentage and what it is a percentage of, the payout frequency and first payment date, and the payment method. Agree all of it in messages before you start.
