====Payment in Advance====
# If one pays in advance of the work being complete, one is not in violation of bal talin. According to some poskim, he would then be losing out on fulfilling the mitzva of paying on time. He can stipulate at the time that he gives the money that he is not technically transferring the money until it is due, in order to get this mitzva of paying on time.<Ref> Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 108. see note 46 there where he quotes from Shu"T Teshuvot Vihanhagot that the Chofetz Chaim would be sure to only pay the carriage driver at the end of the trip because he wanted to fulfill the mitzva of paying on time</ref>

====Shabbat====
# If someone takes a job on Shabbat, such as a waiter who serves on Shabbat, and he finishes his job during the day, some poskim hold that there is no bal talin, because obviously the person accepted this job knowing he could not be paid on Shabbat.<ref>Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 131-132. </ref> regarding the issue of getting paid for work done on Shabbat see [[Sechar Shabbat]]
