What is the amount of payment?
In FuturePath, students are paid $23.34 per hour for 10-300 hours of work, as set out by the employer in the project.
Payment is provided by the Riipen FuturePath program and by the participating employer, in a 50-50 split.
Projects can in some cases conclude before 10-300 hours: the student or employer may choose to cancel the project early, or they may find the project did not require the full 10-300 hours and ends with fewer hours worked. In this case, students will be paid for their hours worked, as long as at least 4 hours were completed.
How do I receive payment, and when?
How do I receive payment, and when?
Before starting the project, you’ll be prompted to set up your payment account in Riipen and provide your banking details so that you can receive funds.
Invoices are created automatically as you work on the project, based on the hours you log in your worklog. An invoice will be automatically created every 15 hours of work for $350.10, and for every 15 hours logged afterwards, until the total project hours have been completed.
Each invoice will have two payments associated with it; one from the employer, and one from Riipen FuturePath, for a total of four payments per project.
The payments will be received directly into your linked bank account, typically 7 days after invoice approval.

What is required of me in order to receive payment?
What is required of me in order to receive payment?
You must be accepted by an employer via Riipen and confirm your application before it expires. Projects must be started on the platform and work conducted on your team page. Interaction with the employer should primarily be via Riipen messages.
Your hours are tracked via the work log feature; these must be accurately logged and then approved by the employer and FuturePath program team as invoices.
Before you can start the project, you must complete the onboarding survey and must press “start” on the platform.
Lastly, the final invoice requires that you upload a final submission first, while the first invoice will be triggered once the first 15 hours have been tracked in the worklog function.

What if the employer or Riipen FuturePath don’t approve my invoice(s)?
What if the employer or Riipen FuturePath don’t approve my invoice(s)?
Both the employer and Riipen FuturePath team have a finite timeframe in which to review and respond to your invoices. This is up to 7 days from invoice creation for the employer, and up to 14 days from invoice creation for the Riipen FuturePath team.
The Riipen FuturePath team timeline is longer as we require the results of the employer review in order to proceed with ours.
If either party fails to review in this timeframe, their approval is automatic. Otherwise, they can either approve the invoice or can initiate a dispute. A dispute requires the user to state why they think the invoice should not be paid in full, and to provide evidence.
Disputes are handled by a dedicated Riipen team, and can result in invoices being paid in full, partially paid, or rejected, depending on the evidence provided. Their outcomes are final.
