Have you had companies paying later than usual this month?

I do not want to call out any companies but I do have 3 companies paying a little slower than usual. Has this happened to any other shoppers in October/November?

It may be the holidays. Many companies will pay on the next business day after a weekend or holiday.

I agree with LisaSTL that it may be the holiday. Lots of companies in the workplace shut down Thursday through Sunday for Thanksgiving.

If you are paid by check, please remember that we had two holidays in the month of November (Veterans Day and Thanksgiving Day) where the post offices were closed. If paid by direct deposit, the banks were closed those two days also. Not sure how the holidays affect PayPal payments.

Also, many MSCs were closed early the day before Thanksgiving and completely closed the day after. And believe it or not, MSC employees, schedulers, payroll personnel, etc. are allowed to take vacation time. 'Tis the season.

It wouldn't surprise me if they are behind on the back end of the shops as well. There was such a big push to get the physical visits completed before the holiday that many shops may be waiting for editing.
