What is the Payment Request Form?
The Payment Request Form is available on the ST Request site (http://strequest.worldbank.org). This form allows short term consultants and temporaries (STCs/STTs) to enter and submit their payment requests online.
In countries where web access is limited (for example, remote areas or fragile states), Form 2370 or Request for Payment (RFP) will continue to be accepted. Approval of the task team leader (TTL)/ reviewer is required. The administrative contact then creates a service entry sheet (SES) in SAP. The SES is automatically routed to the approving manager.
What are the benefits of using ST Request?
•Streamlines the payment process by automating payment request entry and approval.
•Provides online tracking of payment status.
•Maintains confidentiality through a secure passkey, whether you are accessing ST Request outside of headquarters or country offices.
•Provides automatic validation of available days or hours of the STC/STT’s commitment noted against a purchase order and source of funding. This feature is particularly helpful when an STC/STT is working on multiple projects.
•Displays submitted payment requests, enabling you to filter by project and duration.

What are the key policies on
1.Appointment Status – As an STC/STT, you hold a staff appointment. Consequently, you cannot be hired through a firm.
2.Allowed Number of Days – The maximum number of days you can work in a given fiscal year (FY) depends on your appointment type with the World Bank Group. The fiscal year for the Bank Group begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 of the following year. For additional information, consult the TTL or refer to your LOA.
3.Start Date – You can begin work on or after the start date in the contract and only after HR has received the signed letter of appointment issued to you. Failure to comply with this policy exposes both the Bank Group and the STC/STT to serious insurance and liability issues.
Payments cannot be processed for any work done before the start date in the contract.
