So here it is..the 20th...where's the $$

No payment that was expected today from Market Force or BARE..bad time of year to be pulling this stuff. Say what you want about IPSOS, but they pay timely.

Not ALWAYS timely, but mostly.

BARE paid me two days ago. Still waiting on MF. Maybe they've diverted payroll staff to shooting down MAOs.

I was paid by BARE the other day. Market force payments are pending as are customer impact.

IntelliShop just sent out payments as well. I don’t see anything yet from Customer Impact or RBG.

I have not heard back from the scheduler on payment for a Bare shop I did on 10/23 which is still not paid. I sent her a message a week ago. Does anyone have a phone number or contact email other than the contact us through the job number itself for BARE. Thanks

I hope this is not a repeat of last December with Market Force.

You can contact Jason Bare directly. His email is the same format of everyone else at Bare, or you can message him through LinkedIn. He usually responds.

My MF reimbursement payments are usually so small that I do not notice them unless I happen to see their deposit in my bank statement.

I figure Market Force payments will show up tomorrow. Let's touch base then!

FYI I checked the Market Force website and the payment is listed now (Dec 21 instead of Dec 20).

Have always been paid on the 21st by MF, the only exception was last Dec.

No payment yet....will this be a repeat of last December?

May be MF is not paying if you make less than $ 50 or whatever in a single month,

I made a lot more than $50, so no.

Either way, it would be a bad sign if they had to resort to that kind of triage.

Nothing in my bank account yet, but I'm hoping it'll show up tomorrow. Otherwise I assume it won't show up until Tuesday since Christmas is Monday. Did anyone contact MF about this and get a response? I'm not hurting for the money but I know many others rely on timely payment just as MF relies on timely submissions of our shop reports.

I contacted MF and they said that they confirmed that the payment was sent to my bank.

I emailed them this morning and got this response: Thank you very much for your patience. I can confirm that all direct deposit payments for November have been processed. Please allow time for your bank to process the payment and feel free to reach back out with any questions. As a friendly reminder per the ICA, payments may be issued no later than 20 business

Maybe a boycott next November will get their attention.
My bank always posts the payment on the day it states in the MF payment history. So, it’s not my bank.

MF posted my payment on their website for the 21st but here it is the 22nd and I still have nothing.

Did anyone get their’s today?
Reply

I’m still waiting on mine. Now that it’s the Christmas weekend it probably won’t post until Tuesday the 26th.
