Circle Admins

A needs to start an to get your projects started. Epochs allow admins to frame a date range you would like your team to work within. Like traditional pay periods, members complete work within the Epoch time frame, submit contributions, then get paid after the Epoch ends.

Best practice is for the to add all team members to the Circle before starting the Epoch. For tips on how to add members see Add Team Members

Starting an Epoch:

Details of a a repeating Epoch

Cycles

  • Full Month

    • Epochs will start on day 1 of the month and end at the end of the month, you only need to choose the month it starts.

  • Custom

    • You can determine the frequency and length of each epoch

    • You will need to choose:

      • Start Date

      • Length (Number of days, weeks, months the Epoch will be active)

      • Frequency (How many days/weeks/months between Epochs)

Non-Repeating Epochs

To Schedule a non-repeating Epoch you only need to enter the start date, end date, and the start time.

Epochs cannot overlap so you will need to schedule an Epoch during a time when no recurring Epochs are scheduled

Admin Settings

Once you save the Epoch, you will see the upcoming Epoch in the Admin panel. You can edit Epochs before and after the start time. However, you cannot edit epochs after they have ended.

How long should your Epoch be?

What length you choose will depend on the type of projects your team is working on and how often you prefer to pay your team.

Things to consider:

Recency Bias: Members tend to allocate based on their recent experiences. If your Epochs are too long, members may forget about work completed at the beginning of the Epoch.

Process Fatigue: Every Epoch requires your team to record contributions and allocate them to team members. If you have a large circle, the frequent allocation could lead to burnout.
