Your feedback on their pay schedule please. I did several shops back in March and have not received payment. I understand they keep payment a month behind but, it is May 6 and still no check. I'm contemplating not doing any more shops for them.

When was the shop date, and what does it tell you for their pay schedule. Depending on when in March you did the job is possibly as little as five weeks.

I have never not been paid by them. Been doing jobs for them for several years. You should have no worries.

I found this for you.

Please check your profile and ensure that we have your correct PayPal email address. You can expect to receive payment within 30-45 days of submitting a valid shop report AND receipt. Please send an email to Payment@GoodwinHospitality.com with any questions or to update your payment information.

For me, payment is consistently 5-6 weeks after the shop. That is via Paypal...I'm sure checks take longer. What part of March were the shops?

I would count the days since your report was submitted. If it’s more than 45, then, you’ll know to call it missing. They do encourage inquiries past the 45 day mark. Here’s a link to the page you want:

In my experience, they never paid until I asked for it ... long after when it was promised. But supposedly they've gotten more reliable since the last time I shopped for them , which was probably around a year ago.

they shouldn't be encouraging inquiries past 45 days; they should be cutting the checks before that.

Time to build a bigger bridge.

I just went back and looked at my records...I have shopped for them 13 times over the past 8 months, and they paid me on time every time. No inquiries needed.

I've not had any trouble at all working with them.

In by-gone years, Goodwin never paid until you asked for your money. For the past two years they have paid like clock-work. I never have to ask. The money just arrives. They keep getting bashed for once having been bad, and yes, it could happen again, but these days they are one of the good guys with respect to paying.

They do seem to have different payment schedules for different clients. Maybe that reflects when they get paid. I was last paid on April 28th for shops submitted as late as March 17th. My next one was submitted on April 28th, so I figure that I will be paid in mid-June.
