I searched the board for this topic, but I can't find this answer -- once Merc Systems prints the "statement" showing the amount you are to be paid for a certain pay period, how long before a check is actually printed? Is it 45 days from THAT date?
I'm not sure of the exact turnaround time based on the statement off hand, but I completed a shop with Merc Systems on 3/25 and received my check on 4/19.
Mercantile always pays on time and it depends upon when you complete the job. I would not worry, it usually within 45 days of your completed shop, and if you ever have any issues they are quick to respond and very much available to answer your questions. I have worked with them for almost 6 years, and have only had an issue when I had to cancel a couple of shops which no scheduler wants to deal with. Great to work with overall.
I always seem to get paid earlier than I expect from Merc... which is nice. I'm not sure if they pay sooner than my spreadsheet shows or they just send out the checks earlier than their drop dead date, but it's nice and I'm not complaining.
