You were informed correctly by the scheduler. It IS up to you. The ones that you name are MSCs. Scheduling companies are NOT MSCs and do not pay you. So whenever you take a job assigned by KSS or Coast-to-Coast, for instance, be sure to find out who THEIR client is, i.e., who the MSC is. You are running a business now. Independent schedulers, also do not pay, so find out who they are are scheduling for (the MSC). It helps to put the assignment on your calendar as "Mighty Bank" for Informa, scheduled by xyz scheduling.
Thank you for the tip. I will log it that way in the future. I didn't realize when I accepted that this was just a scheduling company and not a mystery shopping company (which are also a scheduling companies, in my experience!). I also filled out the report on CTCSS's site and had never seen the name "Proliance" ANYWHERE until the CTCSS scheduler stated in an e-mail that was the company issuing payment.
{Adding mid-research} The contact e-mail that my scheduler gave me to follow up on is to Shoppers.mx. I just re-read the shop guidelines, it looks like the MSC is Shoppers.mx.. not Proliance like she originally stated. It says:
"Payments will be issued on the 28th of each month for all correctly completed assignments from approximately two months prior".
I think I have my question answered now. I had asked my scheduler a few weeks ago when payment would be coming and she said it would be coming from Proliance within 30 days of shop date. It seems she gave me inaccurate info, and I trusted her and didn't bother to verify her info before posting here. Now I know the difference between scheduling companies and MSCs. Thanks everyone.
