  Application Process:

  - Once you have been onboarded, your project manager will reach out to you whenever a project is available. The project details, timeline, and payment rate will be explained in the message, and you will be free to accept or decline the project.
  - No Upwork fees will be deducted from your earnings, meaning you will receive the full payment amount.
