Good deal. Most of the time I've been paid even when the shop was on the last day of the month. You are right that with a two part shop or one requiring follow up it can go either way. Ellis surprised me this month. A last minute shop was completed prior to the June cut off, but the follow up went a day or two after. They paid me a couple days ago. An even bigger surprise because payment usually isn't made until the 22nd or 23rd
