Should I start worrying about my ATH payment yet?

I've done a few jobs for them,and I had no problems, their pay is kind of slow ,but they do pay. So I wouldn't worry.
They are the slowest of the slow. They do pay, sooner or later. Usually later.
I have done several assignment with ATH and they do pay kind of slow, but they do pay. It seems one month I get paid early and the next slow. But all in all, they do pay.
The pay is the last of your worries with ATH. 
I do notice that too that they say they paid and then it takes a week or two until the payment gets to you. I have always gotten paid and I have done a lot of shops for them.

OMG, I was just coming in here to ask the exact same question. I don't usually worry about payment unless it's wicked late as I can never remember which companies have what time frame. I just usually wait to see a PayPal email and get all excited every time. Or a surprise in my mailbox. Terrible system I know, but the only payment I never received was for a pretzel shop. The company is a Prophet company and I can't for the life of me figure out how to see anything other than the three choices on the right, none of which reference payment. Kept meaning to ask some here about that too.
Anyway, (I'm so long winded, sorry) I was only worried about this one because it clearly says I've already been paid on 10/5 and clearly I have not. So the general consensus here is that this is normal? Guess I'll keep waiting.

My payment for shops done in the first few days of June showed up as "Paid On 7/17/09" but was not received until 7/25/09. My mid to late August shops are showing as "Paid on 10/5/09" and the check is not received. If the check is not in the mail tomorrow I will be contacting them. We are now not even near 45 days any more but more than two solid months.
Ok, so I guess I'm not the only "paid 10/5 but don't have it yet" one. The shops in question were done the first week of August, so it is really way over 60 days.
Any updates on payment status yet? I just checked my log and it says I got paid for some shops on the 17th of this month, but no check has come in the mail yet. I'm not too concerned yet, because I know it takes some time for the check to come in the mail, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye out.
I called a couple of numbers I have today and got only voice mails.
Got a check today for a job I did end of August. Hope you got your payment, too.
Still waiting here as well. It makes you wonder about their logic for their payments though if Gloria already received hers for shops done the end of August. The three I am waiting for payment for were completed Aug 3rd.
I realised the other day that I had been paid for one shop with a company I did a restaurant shop for, but had not been paid for an earlier one I did with them. I wrote them, and the next day it was in my pay pal account.
It wasn't Ath, but sometimes a written trail is very helpful in getting things done.

Just wanted to let you all know that I got a check today - but it was only for three of the four shops. It's a start, yay!!!!
I have in my log a list of shops that say they were paid on 10/17. I have not seen the check.
Fishy fishy.

I think my check must have been in the batch with yours because no arrival here today either.

They don't owe me any money, but in the past two days, I've received emails for bonused platform shops. I'm not biting.
Yeah, I'm not going to be doing more shops for them for a while. The three I'm waiting to paid for now were completed 81 days ago. And then I still have one more from the beginning of September that will hopefully be paid.
Still no check. They owe me quite a bit too. I'm not liking this at all. This will definitely affect whether or not I will shop for them again.
My check arrived today
Check date 9/30/09
Website 'paid' date 10/5/09
10/21 was told it 'mailed out yesterday'
postmark 10/21/09
received date 10/24/09
I'll leave it to your imagination as to what happened between 9/30 and 10/24.

Glad it worked out for you. Hope everyone else ends up with their hard earned money in their pocket - not hanging out there somewhere.

So do I. The bulk of mine were 68 days to pay, which is nonsense for cheap shops.
Still no check. They owe me 2 checks according to my log that states I have been paid (haha yah right). They will be hearing from me.
Still none for me. Today is the 82nd day since the shops. That is pushing 3 months. What annoys me the most about it is that the majority of MSPs are very strict about time limits. Many shops must be completed in a certain timeframe. Reports must be in at a certain time, but with this company, they do not follow their same rules with promptness.

Oh so true!!! This company is by far the worst one I've ever dealt with about their rigid deadlines. I once had my rating docked to a 1 because I didn't turn in one shop within a 2 day timeframe. This was after completing at least 50 shops for them and always having a good rating. I then begged and begged to have my rating increased and then they all claimed "they didn't know how to do that." Hmm.. you know how to give me a 1 but you don't know how to give me a 10. But that's another story.
Anyway, yes, you'd think a company that gives a small window of opportunity to do a shop and immediately docks your rating for not completing a shop in a certain timeframe (yet they sooooo rarely reward.. you literally have to beg for it) they should be able to send your paycheck in a timely manner.
