At some point during +[onboarding](/big-picture/welcome) you should be invited to join our [weekly +money distribution](https://gratipay.com/Gratipay/distributing/). If not, just +ask! 💸 💃 + + +## How it Works + +All collaborators on the Gratipay project set their own take. When you're +added, you'll be added at 1¢ per week. After that, only you can change +your weekly take. Takes are distributed from smallest to largest each week. +What should you take? Set your take to balance your own internal guilt and +resentment. 😊 + +If the rest of the group feels that you're taking too much, you'll hear from +us, and we'll have a conversation together. No news is good news! If you think +someone else is taking too much, here's what you can [do about +it](/howto/deal-with-bad-behavior). + +Legally speaking, unless otherwise arranged, you are an independent contractor +of Gratipay, LLC (an entity organized in Pennsylvania, U.S.A.).
