Seelevelhx Late Payments

Loads of people take $10 jobs, I do too. Sure, I get the $120 4+1 Guys and a route of gas stations jobs for $150 each but most average $15 each.

More About Payment

I was just trying to figure out who you were calling pompous.

I personally don't care when a company pays, so long as they pay. I've only not been paid by one company, NSS. But, I ate the pizza or gave it to the neighborhood kids so I'm not tripping on that. I wouldn't do $400 -$700 worth of $10-$20 jobs with a required purchase for very many companies, certainly not NSS. I've had between $15 and $900 of outstanding invoices with Seelevel HX and I wouldn't be worried at all. They've always paid me but I don't know if it's been on time and I don't care. However, many people do. Many people rely on the money they make to pay the rent, buy food and rely on it being on time. Even if it's their spending money, they're still expecting it. Not everyone has extra cash around who do this work. I would venture to say most people who do this work do not have extra cash hanging around and need the money on time. omg, this is giving me a headache.

I was calling the statements that SoCalMama was making, pompous. You are never pompous. Notoriously upfront, yes, but never pompous.

I had to email Regal last year about a late folio reversal.

Hello, I am a mystery shopper who have done many jobs for Seelevelhx. The company pays, but not mostly it pays you late way after the 15th even it specifically says they pay on or around the 15th. It doesn't say after the 15th. I am upset because I make sure all my shops are completed and submitted by the due date so I expect to get paid on time as well. If we are late on our shops, we can get penalized and given a negative rating.

My experience is that See Level pays on time. Over the past eighteen months only once did they not pay me on the 15th (or the first business day following when the 15th was not a business day). In September, 2016 they paid me on Friday, the 16th rather on the 15th. They are far better at paying than some MSCs.

OP, If they are your worst paying customer either your standards are extraordinary or you aren't doing much shopping. Regardless, you clearly are not happy with See Level HX and have decided not to do work for them in the future. Perhaps you should try to do some shops for Cirrus Marketing.

A lot of people are overly hostile toward the OP and I find it completely unnecessary. Their post were not condescending until the snarky remarks began.

I, too have stated in the past that I feel shoppers should be notified of late payments. I don't think there's anything wrong with having that expectation, open and clear communication. Stating payment will be received on or about the 15th isn't the same as the 27th.

I've personally never been paid significantly late by my standards but if I were and expressed frustration and came here to vent, I'd hope not to be attacked by members of the forum.

Okay, it seems you guys love my forum and have been waiting for a topic like this.Jasfllmt, read all posts before making and ill informed statement (s). I have been paid many times way on the 27th, so I think that is more than a day late if payment was due on the15th. Again, I don't care if it is just my extra money, those are my expectations because of what the MSC stated about payment date. I don't have time going back and forth to my calendar to remember who paid yet and didn't pay. Lol, but you guys who are complaining and wish not to leave this forum, I love it!!!! Keep typing!!!

I'm confused by the "late" pay. According to my records these are the dates they have paid me this year, January 16 (1/15 was a Sunday), February 15, March 14, April 16 (which was actually a Sunday), and May 15.

OTOH, looking at Intellishop for 2016 and 2017, pay dates have been anywhere from the 20th to the 22nd. While I am just fine with the 22nd, wouldn't the OP consider that two days late?

hey lisa... why are you always (well, almost always) the voice of reason ????

OP's last post gets to the heart of the matter--lack of perspective.

SCM, so you are the researcher that search for old posts to help justify your statements, but still off point. Of all companies you find my old complaint about Remington...lol. I am sure I am not alone when I say I will never shop for that company again because being paid late is an under statement. I am not strap for money, but I expect to be paid as stated. It is just how I do business darling.

I am now wondering if some of the folks who are hating my comments so terribly and name calling me are the not spokespeople for the MSCs or the MSCs schedulers themselves....just hilarious!!!

i'm sooo confused by all this but, for once, i have nothing substantive to add (a rarity for me to not even offer a snark or 3).

Rousseau, I said nothing bad about Seelevel except spoke about some of their late payments to me on the 27th, but also stated they have also paid me on time around the 14th and 15th. I don't think it is wrong to always be expecting to be paid on time, unless I am notified of a late payment, which I have on one occasion. I think it is only right and professional. If you are paid 10 days late several times on your regular job whether you need the money or not, wouldn't you ask questions about being paid late and deem that as being unprofessional, especially if the company did not notify you?

In just about 4 months, I have made approximately $300 with Seelevel. Some schedulers I love because they communicate well and some don't. However, contractors should be notified of late payments. Again, if you are okay with late payments then thats fine. This is simply how I feel about late payments and get attacked!!

I usually get paid by SeeLevel on the 15th but I figure it was because the 15th fell on a weekend, I fully expect it to come today.

Here is the problem: ascribing what one expects from an employer to a customer.

Any business, be it Microsoft or microbusinesses like those of us who shop, take risks each time we sell on credit to a customer. We know that some customers will always be late paying, we know sometimes we will need to put our customers on credit hold, we know sometimes we will need to file suit against our customers, and we know sometimes we will end up with uncollectable bad debts. However, any business who shuns a customer for being only 12 days late in paying a few times over the course of a year is a business which is not in want for customers.

That said, as most posters have observed, See Level pays on time with only the very rare report of a late payment.

Roussea, everyone has different experiences, but glad you are being paid on time. However, my experience is different. I am not hating on Seelevel, just mentioned their late payments with no notification. I have done several jobs with Seelevel and only 2 were paid on time and one of the notified late one was on the 22nd . The others were late with no notification and ranging payment dates from the 18th =27th.

Again, I think schedulers should notify contractors if payments will be late. I don't care if it is one day late, notify the contractors. That is all I am saying.

I have always been paid the 15-17 each month. I just had my payment hit PP minutes ago, for a job performed 6/29. Love Seelevel.

Yeah just got paid. And millicent, I did read all posts in this thread. You are so defensive that you assumed and read more into my post than I wrote. I just wrote about my own experience, made a few vague comments with my opinion, and asked a question. And I assure you, schedulers and MSC reps are too busy to waste time by reading innocuous drivel such as this. If and when they do post in here, it is an unwritten rule that they identify themselves with a title and tagline. Yeah, we are a bunch of bored MSC reps ( snorts coffee thru nose while giggling while sitting in pajamas).

Without surprise, payment was made to me, on time, this morning.

Schedulers, often ICs themselves, generally have zero knowledge of payments. Payments are the responsibility of the accounts payable department, not the scheduling department.

Exactly. This. OP, no one is hating on you for your comments. If you don't like how SeeLevel pays, don't work for them. There are some companies I choose not to work for because of their payment terms, but I don't feel the need start threads about them on the internet and then monitor those threads so I can respond and defend my opinion. You seem to be having a lot of fun with the topic.

I think what many are trying to explain is that you are in business for yourself and the MSC is your customer. You appear to lack understanding of how the MS business works and how business in general works. While schedulers post and schedule potential assignments, they have no knowledge of payments. You seem less interested in understanding business than in seeing your comments published and enjoying the fire you lighted and the flaming. Your perspective and the way you post reminds me of a poster named shoptastic. I see a lot of similarity.

Folks, it's time to move on. Someone who doesn't want to hear any other point of view and isn't looking to learn is a waste of our time unless all we want to do is amuse her.

Ninja, why are you trying to start drama? I am going to paint my toenails now because it's more entertaining.

@rotlwolf, honestly, I understand exactly how it works and was not posting to be educated about MSCs because I have been doing this for over ten years. I merely vented how I felt about getting paid late and I got attacked for my comments. It is obvious you are enjoying this negativity with your constant false assumptions about me.

talk about paranoia

Well, one of my schedulers with Seelevel informed me when payment was going to be late. So that is why I stated scheduler, but notification should still be given from someone to inform contractors of late payments.

Wow!!! Thats all I could say!!

On a more happy note, I was paid this morning just as I expected.

@Millieredrose wrote:

This will be my last response. I think I made my point to any MSCs who maybe chiming in that some contractors are not okay with being paid late with no notification. Also, had I known that some of you would stoop to this level of nonsense and name calling, I would have never bothered to use this forum to make a point to the MSCs about late payments.

what happened to quote being last response?
