-

Can Teamway assist me in my VISA application?

No, our customers provide remote team roles only, so there’s no need (or possibility) to apply for a VISA through Teamway or our customers.

-

Which countries do you support?

We currently support members with legal entities based in all countries, excluding Iran, North Korea and Russia. If you’re a Russian, North Korean or Iranian Citizen, you may apply in case of the possession of a legal entity outside of those countries and must be located outside of these countries while working through Teamway.

-

What if a customer doesn’t pay the invoices? Am I protected in some way?

If a client fails to pay, we currently do not guarantee any replacement services. As it is also in our interest that the customer pays our talent, we do everything in our power to enforce these contractual obligations though. After hundreds of collaborations we still have not experienced any challenges on this matter.

-

I want to work part-time, is that possible?

99% of our current openings are full-time positions (30+ hours per week). If you don't put an interest in full-time positions in your profile, the likelihood of being contacted in the near future is pretty low, but it’s possible.

-

How long are the average projects?

The average project length currently is 9 months. Shortest project periods are starting at 3 months.

-

How does the payment work?

Invoices are created automatically at the end of each month in the system. All you have to do is log your hours working on a project and submit your banking details. You can get the payment via regular bank transfer or connect your WISE account.

-

How much can I earn? Does Teamway subtract a fee from my rate?

As a member of the Teamway society, you will set your own hourly rate and are paid accordingly to that rate. We can assist you in identifying a competitive rate suitably to your location and experience, but in the end you decide which rate you want to take. Teamway doesn’t take anything from your rate, but the customer pays 15% on top of your rate, which are the Teamway earnings. Both, the customers and the talent can see this transparently in our platform.

-

Is Teamway a DAO?

No. In today’s world, we believe the magic is in the mix of decentralization and centralization. We are trying to strike the right balance by having a centralized legal entity (owned by the founders, the core team members, and the investors) which will be legally committed to share profits, power, and perks back to the decentralized Teamway Society in a transparent and trusted way enabled by the TMW Token.
