  • Raise a pay question with the information that gets it resolved in one round

2
Learn the four statuses

Pending is recorded but not yet released. Processing is on its way. Completed has been paid. Failed means the payment did not go through — tell Support right away so it can be fixed.


3
Know what triggers payment

Pay is based on the hours the job was posted for. Each worked day is paid in the payroll for its two-week pay period, on the company's pay schedule; payroll does not wait for the school's end-of-day confirmation. Your check-in and check-out show you were there; a day with no check-out can be held up until someone follows up.


4
Keep your payroll details current in OnPay
Sidebar → Payments

Payroll and direct deposit are managed in OnPay, not in EverTeach — your bank details and tax forms live there. If you change banks or move, update them in OnPay; your earnings and pay history stay on this Payments screen.

If something looks wrong, raise it with specifics
Sidebar → Support

Date, school, and what you expected versus what you see. That is usually enough to resolve it without a second exchange.

Worth knowing
  • Check your payments screen weekly rather than monthly. Discrepancies are easier to resolve while fresh.
What goes wrong
  • Assuming a missing payment is an error. Check first whether the next payroll date for that pay period has passed.
