Yes you need to submit an invoice everytime you do a shop are you will not get paid. They pay on the 15th and the 30th of each month by check. Also, You need to write down your shops for your record and mark them off as you get paid. They do not have a place on the website to look at past payments. If you submit an invoice new you will get paid on the 15th most likely.
Yes, If you want to get paid you HAVE to submit an invoice. You do have two week to get an invoice in, so do it as soon as possible. Their pay schedule is something like this; They pay every 15th and last day of the month. You usually get your check about 30 days after the shop is completed. In other words, the shop you did on the 19th of December would be on the check run done on the last day of January. They sometime vary what check cycle the shops fall into, but they are very regular about mailing checks on the 15th and last day of the month. Of course since they do only pay by check the date you receive it may vary too.
ok thanks for you help! i submitted the invoice so i am glad that i checked.
Snuffy, here's a link to the Maritz tutorials: [www.maritzmysteryshopping.com]
One other thing to note about Maritz that I don't think was mentioned yet, if you somehow do forget again to submit an invoice, and a lot of time goes by, when you try to go back and submit the invoice later, you will get an error message and the invoice will not be submitted. In that case you just need to contact them direct and they will take care of it for you.
I think the invoice function on their site cuts off after 14 days-ish or something like that.

Make sure to submit your receipts when you submit your invoice. Even though you submit them with the report you must submit them again with the invoice.
I got a reminder about that once. My first Maritz shops didn't have receipts; they were bank shops. When I did a gas station shop for them I didn't realize I was supposed to submit a receipt a second time. they sent me a nice email reminding me to do it.

I'm always afraid I'm going to miss submitting an invoice for Maritz since other MSCs don't require this, and there's no way to check my records against theirs since they don't post that info. If they know when we don't submit an invoice, it seems to me that this process could be eliminated somehow. I'd appreciate being able to see my payment history with this MSC.

Every company seems to have its own little special way of doing things. I wish they could all have the same play book
Shopgal, I'm paranoid about missing the invoice requirement. To be sure I've sent the invoice, each time I complete a report I submit the invoice, print it out, and staple it inside the folder as the last step. I don't wait until I've reported all the shops because that's apparently too confusing for me. I learned this the hard, hard way.

Good tip about printing about the invoice, MDavis. I'm going do that from here on out. The couple cents that the print costs is well worth having my bookkeeping in order. Thanks for sharing.
Even though I've been at this a few years now, I think it's so great to continue to learn new best practices all the time on this forum. This community has a lot of worthwhile experience to share. Anybody that thinks they know all about this gig are fooling themselves.

When I do the invoices, I print/save them in a pdf file (cute pdf) and then save it to the file my pictures are in. When I do the pictures for any shops, I save them as job# and location. This way I am not spending the extra ink/paper and save the pdf right to the job file that I am invoicing. My insane way of making sure I invoiced the shop.
Another good idea to deal with this hokey invoice situation. Thanks, SecretAgent. Your method is not insane at all. Better than my current one, which is to hope and pray I've kept good records. This coming year I am going to be concentrating on putting more fail-safes into my systems. Your idea will be helpful.

Any company that requests invoices before they pay is just poorly run, in my opinion. They have the report and whatever collateral they've requested to prove you've been there. They need shoppers to send an invoice to make their book keeping easier? I don't get it.
Just got an email from Remington regarding their invoice policy. I've never worked for them because I heard the owner was unstable and rude...I recently found that to be 100% true. Owner is a nut job. I bet they bank on shoppers not reading their invoice policy...it's always buried in their ICA somewhere. Then they can play the float with the money, and use the funds to their benefit while they wait for the shopper to figure out their policy.

One of the things that differentiates independent contractors from employees is that the IC invoices the client. Employees don't invoice their employers.
While some companies will pay based on the report, others are not out of line in requesting an invoice. Perhaps they have been audited in the past about whether their workers are IC's or employees and are trying to make sure they can defend the IC status if audited.
Issuing an invoice if needed is part of being in business for yourself. I signed up for the IC Pro thing and it invoices many companies for me.

Yeah, I found out the hard way to not wait until you have all of your shops done before submitting an invoice. I have several gas station shops that have not been paid because the website locked me out before the invoice was sent. I still am unable to sign in and am told by customer service that there is no problem on their end.
