The practical guide to the company space
Why launch a Pacto program, how to activate it, how to follow missions and how to manage declarations, distributions and documents.
The final PDF will be published once aligned with the regulations in force.
The guide explains how to use the space. In case of discrepancy, the signed contract, its annexes and the pricing grid applicable to it prevail.
The benefits of the program
A Pacto program lets you mobilise freelance skills now and devote an agreed fraction of the revenue you actually collect to their remuneration. The collaboration budget follows the pace of your activity instead of preceding it.
In return, the commitment remains due until the balances are fully settled. The Register traces every service, every declaration and every payment, and each freelancer follows their own balance.
Activate a program
Name the program, define the revenue base, choose the redistribution rate and the initial number of seats. These choices appear in the Special conditions and are fixed when the first contract starts.
The program takes effect at the earliest after signature and payment of the initial activation fee. The first seat includes the personalisation of the contractual framework for your company.
The pricing grid in force is the one published in the general operations regulations - Client company and on the Pricing page.
Dashboard
The dashboard gathers the indicators of the month: balances to settle, open seats, active missions, expected monthly declaration and distribution to check.
A pending action stays visible until it is handled: declaration to file, missing document or distribution to validate.
Balances and commitment
Each declared and validated day is valued at the agreed rate and added to the freelancer's balance. The sum of open balances is the commitment remaining to be settled.
If the commitment grows faster than the distributions, two levers exist: increase the redistribution rate, the increase taking effect at the next revenue declaration, or slow down the opening of new missions.
Freelancers and missions
Invite your own freelancers with the entry vouchers made available, or approach the members of the listing. You remain responsible for selection and contracting.
A mission publishes an objective, a maximum volume, an indicative rate and a desired deadline. The freelancer keeps control of their time, place and methods: the volume is a cap, never an instruction.
Declare revenue
Each month, declare the revenue collected on the program base and attach the supporting document. The declarant certifies the accuracy of the declaration.
Zero revenue is accepted: no distribution takes place and the balances carry over. A validated period is locked; any correction goes through a visible correcting entry.
Check the distribution
The tool computes the envelope of the period by applying the program rate to the declared revenue, then distributes it among the freelancers pro rata of their open balances, rounding carry-over included.
You check the table per freelancer: balance at closing, computed share, amount to pay and balance after payment, then you validate the distribution.
Invoices, expenses and transfers
After validation, generate the transfer file and execute the payments from the company's account to the freelancers' accounts. Pacto never receives or holds these funds.
Depending on the order set in your settings, each freelancer submits their invoice after the payment, for the amount received, or before the payment, for the amount due. Expenses approved in writing before they are incurred are reimbursed separately and in priority.
Settings
The base and the rate are fixed when the first contract starts. The rate can then be increased, the increase taking effect at the next revenue declaration, and never lowered; any other change goes through an amendment accepted by each freelancer, with no retroactive effect.
User roles (Owner, Admin, Finance, Read-only) define who declares, who validates and who consults.
Documents and profile
Each relationship has its own contract: one Pacto, one contract. The document space keeps the signed versions, their annexes and the applicable parameters.
Program and Register data remain exportable. The company profile gathers the billing information for Pacto services.
