Employer Responsibilities & Code of Conduct

Fair Compensation & Payment Security

  • Escrow Deposit Before Work Starts – Employers must deposit funds into the smart contract before hiring a freelancer. This ensures that freelancers do not work without financial security.

  • No Payment Manipulation – Employers cannot withhold payments unfairly after a freelancer has completed work according to agreed terms.

  • Timely Payment Releases – Once a task is marked as complete and approved, funds are automatically unlocked and sent to the freelancer.

Transparent Communication & Ethical Hiring

  • Clear Job Descriptions – Employers must provide detailed, realistic, and achievable task descriptions to prevent misunderstandings.

  • Respect Freelancer Rights – No unpaid trial work or requiring additional tasks outside the original agreement.

  • No Sudden Cancellations – Employers who frequently cancel active contracts without valid reasons may face penalties and lowered reputation scores.

Honest Reviews & Fair Dispute Handling

  • No Fake Reviews – Employers must provide genuine, unbiased feedback based on actual work quality.

  • Fair Dispute Resolutions – If disputes arise, employers must engage in community-driven arbitration and accept final DAO governance decisions.

  • No Freelancer Blacklisting Without Cause – Employers cannot falsely accuse freelancers or attempt to exploit arbitration systems.
