Good to know before you join: Microworker’s daily balance rule can move part of an earned balance after notice on consecutive inactive UTC days — 0.5%, then 1%, then 2% — to that day’s active workers. Deposits, money still under review and payouts are never touched, and a day with no task available to you does not count.
