How to successfully start and complete your AME-UP project to ensure payment.
Note: You must be invited into an AME-UP after completing the AME-UP program.
Congratulations on starting your project!
Participants must follow milestones and deadlines throughout the project to avoid an “incomplete” team state.
Participants are required to log their 60 hours of work using the worklog feature. Your submissions may not exceed 30 hours per week or 10 hours per day.
Both employers and participants are encouraged to use the messaging feature on Riipen for seamless communication during the project.
Once your final submission deadline approaches, and you've completed your project, including logging your work hours, it's time to hit "submit" and upload your final submission. You can only do this if your team is in an active state.
This submission must include three things:
1. A reflection note on your project work. How did it go? What did you learn?
2. Upload your deliverables with original work. These need to reflect your 60 hours of work and must be in line with the project scope.
3. Your 60 hours tracked in Riipen's worklog feature
Once the submission has been made, the participant will be notified to complete an exit survey.
AME-UP operates on a 21 business day payout period for participants completing AME-UP projects. Payment will be reviewed by the AME-UP team once the employer provides feedback on a project submission and the participant exit survey has been received.
Participants: We have updated our payment process. You can read about it here.
Employers: After the project concludes, you'll be asked to complete an exit survey, reflect on the participant's work, and give feedback directly on Riipen. This feedback is crucial for processing your participant(s) payment(s) promptly. You can provide feedback on the team page on Riipen, located on the Overview tab, below their final submission. Please confirm the completion and approval of the participant's final deliverables.
If five weeks pass without feedback from the AME-UP employer, the Riipen AME-UP team will contact the employer. If there's no response, the AME-UP team will review your final deliverable on behalf of the employer, potentially causing a delay in payment.
