Lumikha Teams’ Services Understanding
Program Duration
Program Term
This Service Agreement is effective from the date listed on the Statement of Work (SoW) as the start date and continues for one year. This period is the initial term. Either party can terminate this Agreement by emailing a notice to the other party at least thirty days before the last day of the initial term.
Automatic Renewal
The SoW and the Service Agreement automatically renew for additional periods of one year after the initial term.
Compensation
How We Calculate Payment
Each full-time resource works and is billed for 32 hours/week multiplied by their hourly rate. Invoices are submitted monthly and denominated in USD. The hourly rate is calculated based on the complexity of the tasks you assign to a billable resource.
When the Program Changes
Occasionally programs change. As schedules or task assignments change, we update your SoW to reflect these changes. The updates may have financial implications based on the complexity of the program or schedule updates that necessitate frequent overtime compensation for the people assigned to the program.
Payment Schedule & Reconciliation
We invoice in advance of services rendered. The difference will be credited to the next invoice when there is a discrepancy between the hours invoiced and the hours worked.
Overtime
When you require overtime beyond the scope of the SoW, you are obliged to pay for the overtime hours according to the following computation as mandated by the Philippines labor code:

If the program schedule changes, we will issue an updated SoW.
Annual Escalation for Tenured Staff
Because we take a long view of our program engagements, employees bring significant value over time. We charge more for tenured staff according to the following escalation:Year 1 5%Year 2 15%Year 3 5%Year 4 5%Year 5 5%Year 6+ 2.5%We apply the annual increase to the hourly rate on the anniversary of your assigned resource’s certification to the program.
Program Incentives
Because back-office processes are more successful when we motivate your team with graduated incentives for the programs we manage. We develop these incentives during the first 30-60 after your program launches. The incentives vary, so we like to understand your program thoroughly before we propose an incentive plan. We devise incentive plans to reach your objectives and maximize the program’s value. We include the incentives in the monthly invoice, subject to approval.
Additional Fees
You agree to pay for any reasonable and actual business expenditure incurred by us at your direction. These might include third-party, licensed software, telecommunications charges, web hosting, domains, privacy, or specialized computer hardware.
