Is anyone else having flashbacks of Dec 2022 and the late December payment? I certainly hope this is not a repeat of last year. Maybe I am just antsy....has anyone been paid for November shops yet?
There's already a thread on this, but to answer your question, no, I haven't been paid yet. RBG, BARE and Intellishop paid me within the last few days, Alta360 isn't due for a few days, ACL and Secret Shopper have at least told me my paper check is in the mail, all other companies are current with me. Market Force is the lone deadbeat.@gigishopper wrote:

Several months ago there was one poster who started something like 5 or 6 threads titled, "Sonic."@ShopperGirly wrote:
No worries! My real complaint is about those who put vague headers in the subject line or don't use keywords that will appear in a search. In the top 15 current topics, there are 3 other threads on the same subject: one titled "MF Pmt", 2 both titled, "So here it is..the 20th..where's the SS?" Yours is the only one with a clear title: "Marketforce payments this week".
My wish for the new year is that posters would put some thought into their subject line, not just random things like "You won't believe what happened!", "I am so mad!", or "Has this ever happened to you?"
Rant over.
So based on that they're not really due until the 29th, excluding weekends and holidays. Maybe just say "payments will be made by the end of the following month"?@BirdyC wrote:
Seems we go through this conversation every time MF doesn't pay ON the 20th. I don't know when this was changed, but their terms of payment now state: "All payments will be disbursed by the 20th business day of the following month for all “valid” reports. In most cases, this payment will cover all completed assignments from the previous month.
Depending on what they include or exclude as "business days," this won't always be on the 20th. I know we've all come to count on payment by or on the 20th, but this month's payment isn't yet late according to their terms.

Good thing this coming February is a leap month or they wouldn't have to pay us at all!

Did anyone get their’s today?
That's kind of the thing, by keeping the language as elastic as possible, they can pretty much pay whenever the hell they want, and shoppers can't get a fix on when to expect payment. In the example I provided above, if weekends and holidays were discounted, this coming February doesn't even get to a 20th business day until the leap 29th. Many years it wouldn't have one at all.@BirdyC wrote:
Well, we don't know if they count Saturdays as business days; many businesses these days do.
