QuantEcon Contractor Payments
This site is the step-by-step guide for QuantEcon contractors filing timesheets and invoices through GitHub.
Where to start
If your contract is hourly, see:
If your contract is milestone-based (a fixed amount per deliverable), see:
If something went wrong with a previous submission and you need to fix it, see:
How the flow works in one paragraph
You file each submission as a GitHub Issue in your own contractor
repo. The issue is a draft — fill in what you know, then edit it
over days or weeks as you work. When you're ready, comment /validate
to check that your entries parse cleanly (with computed totals), and
/submit to file. A Pull Request opens automatically with the
rendered PDF; your QuantEcon administrator reviews and merges it, and
the payment processor is notified by email. You don't need to do
anything with the PR — just file the issue.
Questions?
The GitHub issue templates in your contractor repo include inline instructions for each field. For anything else, contact the QuantEcon administrator listed in your onboarding email.
