# List work statement payment policies

GET https://api.letsdeel.com/rest/work-statement-payment-policies

Use this endpoint to discover the payment policies configured for the authenticated organization and to pick the policy ID to reference when creating a contract. A payment policy is a reusable payment cycle configuration — when a cycle ends, when payment falls due, and whether payment moves earlier when the due date lands on a weekend.
