I haven't worked for them in awhile, but yes, they pay within a month (if my memory serves me). Never had a problem with them, excellent Co.

They pay like clockwork...and in (for this industry) a fairly decent amount of time.

Yes, they pay the following month for their shops...can't remember exactly what their cut off date is though. If it was the 20th, you will be paid in August.

DSG averages 35 days for payments, at least for the shops I've done for them. They are very reliable and easy to work with, except I *hate* calling shops in via the phone! Some shops they accept online but others you call in and that always feels so awkward to me. But, I digress...

Fortunately, though, the Credit Union shops can now be completed on-line...I think that change-over occurred in May.

I "heart" DSG, for the burger shops that are so quick and easy, and I like the chain....regular pay, too.

Recently, I got a phone call from DSG asking me to shop a credit union. An account was required, which I didn't have, so I didn't qualify. However, the same phone call, the scheduler started asking questions to see if I qualified for a car insurance shop. The one with a hundred questions concerning driving records for each family member. Irked me. It's one thing to choose to complete those questions on the website but over the phone with a scheduler was uncomfortable and intrusive. Even after I told her I didn't want to go further with the questions as I wasn't interested in the shop, she persisted. I tried interrupting her, but she wouldn't hush. Eventually, she heard me loud and clear. I was left with a very poor impression.

I have never worked for DSG, even though they have (had?) a local company in my area that used to be with another MSC. Although they were begging for shoppers, they wanted me to go register with a temp. agency that was going to take P/R taxes out of the pay. You gotta be kidding - for an occasional $20 rotation? I think not.

When pushed to give a reason why, I was told that "Hawaii laws require it." Funny how the HI MSC's, who do FAR more shops here, don't have to, and neither did the others who have occasional shops here. (I am not going to go into the "should they or shouldn't they" argument about IC vs. employer here as I have no idea if the shop instructions were "directive" or not.)

I liked the people, they were nice. But I couldn't see bothering with this under this circumstance.

I hadn't worked for them in a year, used to do high end bank shops. Reconnected thanks to this forum, and they just called with a couple phone shops and an Ins. Co. I always liked them, they had a loss of shops in my area, so, glad to have them in my life again.

I got paid but they owe me $10. I was told they will send it next week and I know they will. They are good people to work with.
