Who still owes you for June?

For companies that pay 60 days after the last day of the month of the shop, for June should be the 30th of August, correct?
So I am waiting till next week and then if I have to I'll get on the phone.
Why should we have to ask for the money that is rightfully ours?

Obviously both an excellent question as well as one frequently asked. It is why it makes sense to at first do only a shop or two with low $ outlay unless it is something you would be willing to pay for anyway. Then based on their responsiveness to pay you without hassle and within a reasonable time frame, decide whether you will work for them further. I did 50 shops in June and the last ones were paid on 8/6. In July I did 52 shops and am awaiting payment from only two companies. One pays by check and the site indicates it was paid a day or two ago, so the check may be in my mailbox today or Monday. The other one will pay like clockwork on the 31st by direct deposit. I only bother with one company that pays in 90 days because they are the only ones in my area that still routinely offer oil change shops that can handle my vehicle. If I find another company, I'll get my oil changes done with them. About 20% of my August work is already paid for.

Closed June today. Outstanding for July are two slow payers, and one MSP whose check should be in my mailbox the first of the week. I have a few slow paying MSPs with whom I'm willing to shop and wait.

Sinclair still owes for me for a June shop. I called and they said to expect it around the end of September. I did have to re-submit a business card but it took them 2 months to tell me they needed that. The rep was real nice on the phone but I need the money! Plus they still haven't addressed the fact that one shop disappeared completely. This is a fun job but waiting to be paid within 2 months is no fun at all, especially when it goes well beyond that, and I use my gas and often have to make a purchase. I am getting a part time job very soon and it will be nice to not have to scramble for work, work many poor paying shops in one day cause they add up to something substantial, and wait and wait to be paid. My life will soon be normal again. (I may pick up some MS anyway, if they pay real good).

What is going on at Sinclair, don't see available jobs, and stopped getting emails about their regular jobs. I agree Carol, waiting for something you did months ago is so wrong, that is the major downside of our industry, getting paid by the end of the following shouldn't be that hard. I'm all caught up with pay, so, now will start the cicle again, lots of work for Sept. and starting to apply for Oct.

Live consciously....

Goodwin over 90 days... I finally got my money, I went out and celebrated! It was like a rich relative died and left you something. You never expected you would get anything and WHOMP!, there it is!

Please help me!!!

This is the reason I joined this forum. HDE (Hillidunlap) still owes me $50 from a May 14th shop (ALMOST 120 DAYS OLD!!!) plus $24 and $50 from two June shops done on June 16th and June 26th. They have been paying on the first of the month after 90 days, but they skipped me on Sept. 1st. I have sent several emails to Frank at HDE last week and this week and have received no response. I even emailed another scheduler who assigns shops for HDE and nothing from her either.

What else can I do? I went on their website and Frank was the only contact there. I am sure they wouldn't have liked it if I had performed the work for them in a similar manner. Sixty percent of the money they owe me is reimbursements and the other forty percent is fees. I don't have enough money for me not to worry about $125.

You can contact the BBB in their area. Send e-mail to their President/CEO. I send e-mails to everybody and post here and at Volition to warn other shoppers about late payment. And, once I've been paid late by a MSC and had to chase my money, I don't work for them again.

Well Certified owes me extra hours but since they hide that behind a "Call our 800# to get overtime approved" and that 800# doesn't work here; I think it will still be there next June as well!
