Modifying Contract Due Date in Upwork

Firstly, it’s important to note that on Upwork, once a contract has been initiated, its end date or due date can’t be modified by the freelancer. Only the client can set or change contract end dates.

Step by step process for the client:

1. Accessing Contract Settings

The client need to log in to their Upwork account and navigate to the ‘Contracts’ section (found under ‘My Jobs’). They will then need to select the contract they wish to modify.

2. Modifying the End Date

Under the contract, the client needs to click on the ‘Settings’ cogwheel icon in the upper-right-hand corner of the page. An option to adjust the contract’s end date will be here.

3. Confirming the Change

After choosing a new date, the client must click the ‘Save Changes’ button to implement the new end date.

Steps for Freelancer

Ask your client

If you would like to modify the end date of a contract, you have to request the change from your client. Communicate with your client and explain your reasons for wanting a change in the contract’s due date. Remember to be professional and respectful in your communication.

Conclusion:

In summary, the power to make contract changes lies with the client, but a good working relationship and clear, respectful communication should make it easy to discuss any potential changes to the contract’s due date.
