I would keep calling. Ask them to prove that the check has been cashed. They can always put a stop payment on it. Maybe ask to speak with someone in payroll

Make sure that you have your correct address in your profile. Are you sure that your report was accepted? I ask this because you cannot write in the manner that you wrote this post and expect it to be accepted.I have never not been paid for a shop that was accepted. Six years.

February 26, 2012 06:23AM

ya ,I seen that coming ! All was done properly and address was correct.There were various contradicting email sent to me in reply to these issues,from the various companies too.to fed up to care much about how i write right now.

February 26, 2012 06:44AM

OK I hope it works out for you. I would suggest that you be careful to list companies and say flat out that they do not pay. You can argue that they have not paid you. Otherwise, it is slander. I know that unsolicited advice is never good, but the past tense of see is saw, not seen.

thanks

All companies have different pay schedules, which are usually posted on their respective websites. Some are very fast, while others allow themselves up to 90 days. But yes, some are loathe to pay, and you have to chase them down for it. That said, GFK and NSS are two companies that have always paid me on time. (Not sure which company MSC refers to.)

February 26, 2012 04:04PM

NSS always pays (2 months), I have been with them 6yrs.,and if not for them,
I easily could have left msing...they keep me going. You need to read pay date
before accepting jobs and know where you stand.

Live consciously....

has gfk ever walked you around in circles? work,report,reply to proofs,recieve email you never replied to proof,no payment.Is there something I didn't do?

February 26, 2012 11:00PM

I had an issue with GFK last month. I did a shop and they said they didn't receive the report. I replied that I did the report and asked to resubmit it. I also submitted my proof in the email. In addition, I called a number of times and left messages. This went on for two weeks. Later, the scheduler sent out a bonus email for the exact same shop, with the same shop number. I contacted the scheduler to ask why she didn't get back to me because I already did the shop. She said she already rescheduled it to someone else. She never answered my original question, and didn't offer any apology or acknowledgement of the mistake. I was livid to say the least.

Sincerely,
H.A.R.D. at work

I will say this about GFK, or rather, repeat it, since I've said it many times before! I've never had a problem receiving payment in a timely fashion, but when it comes to communication, they can be horrible. They like to hide behind their schedulers, and not reveal themselves.

This is unacceptable. I hope that you pursue it. Let us know. The scheduler messed up as far as I am concerned.

I have always been paid promptly from GFK and have had no issues! They pay more frequently during the holiday season and then go back to a regular pay schedule in January.
