Payment Options
Parker Dewey is changing to using a new payroll sytem called Tipalti. Signing up for this system only has to be completed once and there are no costs to you. Please follow the instructions carefully to learn more about your options using Tipalti.
IMPORTANT:
Please contact support@parkerdewey.com immediately if anyone other than Parker Dewey requests your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), address, or any other payment-related details. Because Parker Dewey is the employer of record for all Micro-Internships, your supervisor does not need and should never request any of the above.
PAYMENT OPTIONS / INFORMATION
- Now that you've been selected for a project, you'll be invited to create an account with our payroll processing system, Tipalti within 48 business hours. You only need to create your account once. If you were previously paid via Gig Wage or Melio, you will need to make an account on Tipalti as of May 1, 2024.
- You can choose between two payment options that are at no-cost to you: an ACH payment to your preferred bank account (only for U.S. bank accounts) or by a check received by mail. Checks can be mailed internationally.
- For a small fee, you can choose to receive your payment via a PayPal deposit or an international ACH payment (if you have a non-U.S. bank account).
- Payments are generally submitted for processing on the last day of the month or first day of the following month. You will only be added to payroll after Parker Dewey has received confirmation from the client that the project is complete. Once you are finished working on your project, mark it as completed through your dashboard. This will formally notify the client and Parker Dewey that you are finished. If the last day of the month falls on a weekend, payroll will be processed the following Monday.

Parker Dewey Micro-Internships are open to students and recent graduates who meet the following criteria:
- 18 or older
- Currently attending or have recently graduated from a US-based higher education institution
- Authorized to work in the United States
There is no official cutoff, but Parker Dewey is designed to help early career professionals launch their careers. For this reason, established professionals likely won’t find the projects as valuable as current students or more recent graduates do.
Because most companies are using the platform intentionally to engage early career talent, established professionals are also less likely to be selected for Micro-Internships unless their profile makes it clear that they’re transitioning into a new career field.
Projects completed through Parker Dewey are only available to U.S. citizens or international students with approved Curricular Practical Training (CPT), Optional Practical Training (OPT), or other work authorization.
If you are a current F-1/J1 international student, contact international student support staff at your institution to confirm your eligibility before applying to projects.
If selected for a Micro-Internship, it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with internship requirements and USCIS regulations.
Current students and alumni do not need to have DACA or TPS to apply to Micro-internships. All Micro-internships are structured as independent contract work, which means successful applicants would be hired by Parker Dewey as independent contractors.
Other Considerations:
You may use your work authorization or a valid ITIN to be paid as an independent contractor.
You may already have an ITIN if your parents ever filed income taxes and claimed you as a dependent. You can find out if you have an ITIN in your parents’ tax forms.
If you have an ITIN, make sure to find out if it has expired. If it has, you will need to renew it. Find information on ITIN expiration and renewal here.
If you do not have an ITIN, you can learn how to obtain one here: ITIN Guide or this video from Immigrants Rising.
It depends on the details of the Micro-Internship and your institutions. To learn more about credit-bearing internship requirements at your institution, consult Academic Services or your Career Center.

Yes! You are welcome to do as many Micro-Internships as your schedule allows. You can even take on multiple projects at the same time! That stated, if you are selected for multiple Micro-Internships but your schedule won't allow for you to do all of them, just let the Parker Dewey team know by responding to the email that notified you of your selection. It's important to think critically about your work, school, and personal commitments, and to communicate professionally as soon as you've been selected if you aren't capable of completing a project on time and to the best of your ability.
