Translation: freelancers, rates and payouts
For admins and finance, covering adding freelancers, filling the rate card, and monthly payouts into vendor bills.
Freelancers
Menu Translation → Freelancers. Freelancers are not employees: no salary, no attendance, not counted in the employee quota.
Add one at a time: code (for example DTA-02-00624), name, email, language pairs, job types (TRANSLATE, QA,
PROOFREAD, LQA), country, payment currency, withholding tax (for example PPh 21), minimum payout, bank account and
tax number. At the same time:
- a login account with the Freelancer role is created. A new email gets a "choose your password" email; an email that already has an account gets an invitation;
- vendor data for payments is created.
Import: up to 200 rows at once. The result per row: created, invited, or failed with the reason.
Deactivating a freelancer stops new assignments; finished work can still be claimed and paid.
Rate card
Menu Translation → Rate Card. One rate per combination:
| Project type | Language pair | Job | Unit | Currency | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WEBNOVEL | CN-ID | TRANSLATE | WC | IDR | 120 |
| WEBNOVEL | CN-ID | PROOFREAD | WC | IDR | 40 |
| GAMING | EN-ID | LQA | HOUR | IDR | 75000 |
Rates may have up to 6 decimals (for example 0.018 USD per word). A claim uses the stage's specific rate when the PM
set one; otherwise the rate card in the freelancer's currency.
Monthly payouts
Menu Translation → Payouts.
- Choose the month → Preview: claims approved until the end of that month, per freelancer and currency. Those below the minimum payout are marked held until a later month.
- Run with the bill date. For each freelancer one draft vendor bill is created in finance (one line per claim, with the withholding tax). The claims become Billed.
- Continue in Finance → Vendor Bills: check, post and pay them like any vendor bill.
If one freelancer fails (an account not set up, for example), the others are still processed and the reason is shown.
