By federal law, employers have to pay twice a month if you are an employee unless it is agreed to when you are hired.

More About Payment

I've been receiving payment from Service Sleuth, 60 days after my shops, for the past two months. There were a few which were paid a few days before 60 days. They have been paying promptly lately.

Trendsource (MSI) payment was at PayPal the next day of my shop. And they have done that consistently. ICU was less than 30 days.

Great idea! thank you all for sharing!

I don't see too much information on here for Service Research Corporation....... but they pay by Check on the 10th of the month for shops from previous month.

Do you have any payment information for MPACT? I cannot find it on their site...

Since all the replies, do you have a new list with everyone's input? There are a few I am having a hard time finding out about hoping they would be on the main list...

AQ is the worse.... rude and pay late too. DO NOT SLAVE FOR THEM.

WE SHOULD REPORT ALL THESE COMPANIES FOR THEIR BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE IN OUR COUNTRIES IN HOPE TO PUSH THEM TO PAY US IN TIME OR CLOSE THEIR DISHONEST SERVICES.

Jancyn: 5-6 weeks
TNS: 1st day of month following shop
Shoppers View: 15th of following month

I am not sure where this information would be relevant, but I know that it will be helpful to anyone that has ever had problems receiving payment for a shop. I completed a event for Front Row. I waited three months and still did not receive payment. I contacted them multiple times with no resolution. I finally contacted the Better Business Bureau in Florida where they are based out of. I also contacted my local Better Business Bureau. I was paid within the week and all is well. This is just a suggestion for anyone having problems receiving payments from any source. Good Luck and I hope that no one has to use this service, but if so, here is some help! Thank you, Jan

Service Sleuth is paying my 60 days from shop and Mystery Shopping Canada 30 days by PayPal. There is also Spot Check that pays monthly by direct deposit.

Is BMA still paying every 45 days? It's been 60 for me.

Service Sleuth is saying November shops will pay out by the end of the month. Glad they've sped up to sixty days, will put them a little higher on my priority list for MSCs to shop for now :]

Somewhere in the Midwest, shopping / auditing full time since 2014. Will use PV-500 for food!

What a great idea! I just tell myself that (for some MSCs), I'll get paid shortly after I forget that I performed the shop, three months ago.

That is exactly why you keep a detailed record in a program like Excel. With a click of the filter, I know exactly which shops are still outstanding.

I use YNAB (You Need a Budget) to keep track of everything for my household, including outstanding shop fees and reimbursements. It works really well for me, but I also maintain spreadsheets that allow me to include extra details like the job ID, address, and mileage a little more conveniently.

Cirrus Marketing Intelligence pays via PayPal. See below for the approximate date, according to the month you shopped:

January paid mid-May
February paid mid-June
March paid mid-July
April paid mid-August
May paid mid-September
June paid mid-October
July paid mid-November
August paid mid-December
September paid mid-January
October paid mid-February
November paid mid-March
December paid mid-April

Three and a half month turnaround? What a deal. And don't you just love "mid" whatever month rather than a commitment to a real date

Did Cirrus slow down? I thought my November shops were due by the end of February, still a break neck payment pace...

Here it is from the website:

If you completed your shop during this month... You will be paid month end:
January April
February May
March June
April July
May August
June September
July October
August November
September December
October January
November February
December March

3 months or 4 months.... As much as I actually enjoy apartment shops; I'm not going to touch them if I have to wait four months for payment.

Wow. I just got paid by Statopex for shops done in October! Clearly I'm not much of an accountant if I didn't even realize I was out the money, but that's way too long.

Had my quickest payment turn around with Regal. Paid and reimbursed within 6 weeks from December shop.

Measure CP and ICCDS paid out today. On time as always :].

Second to None shows paid early but isn't in PayPal yet. Is there a lag between when they submit and PayPal pays out?

AlexG - Why do you use PayPal for Second to None? Second to None imposes a $1 processing fee for PayPal. They do not charge a fee for direct deposit.

Did anyone receive their Bare DD today? My mom did but I did not. Last month I recei a check because my fees were over $500, but this month they were not so I'm just wondering...

Service Sleuth pays 60 days after the month the shop has been completed. Therefore, it could take as long as 90 days.

VeriTES pays Full Lobby Checks and Full Viewings within 2 weeks, trailer checks witin 3 weeks and Open Checks within 6 weeks, all by check in the mail.

@myst4au, thanks for the suggestion. Just kicked STN over to my bank account for payment. The only reason I really prefer PayPal is that it makes bookkeeping a little easier having everything come in and out of the same place, but since some MSCs pay by check, that's kind of a moot point.

I got paid for my November shops from Cirrus. The lady I talked to was really friendly and helpful - but until they're able to speed payment up a bit, they're on my do not shop list.

I posted this on the other thread. Check your records and don't hesitate to inquire about unpaid shops. I discovered a September 2014 unpaid shop by Service Sleuth. They have been promptly paying so I wasn't worried. I emailed my scheduler and it was paid by Paypal on Friday.

Thanks for the heads up - I totally forgot I had a December shop for them that hadn't been paid. It'll pay out this week, but always nice to remember you're owed money that you've forgotten about.

If anyone was waiting on ICCDS' Friday payment, I talked to them and they said they were having some problems with PayPal, and should pay out Monday. I was a little surprised, ICCDS is like clockwork, IME.
