we have until the 3rd to submit a show from the following month, correct??

i had a show on OCTOBER 3RD & it took me until LAST FRIDAY to get the host to close. she had a million excuses & i finally told her that i was going to just close without her outside orders & pick her free items for her. anyway - she called me oct 31st at 9:30pm which is already past midnight in chicago. so the show is showing up on my individual performance tracker as a november show - even though the show was dated october 3rd.

so my 2 questions:
#1 - will i not get commission for this show until the 22nd?
#2 - does this actually count for october & its just under nov on my IPT because it was already november in chicago when i submitted it??

i guess if they are going to count it as a nov show i wont be too mad because then itll count for SAT. but still. id like the commission earlier than later - the host actually came through with some great outside orders.
 
I thought we had until the 15th of the following month to submit shows in order to qualify for guest and host specials. So if this is an October show submitted before the 15th it would count for October. You will be paid commissions on the 22nd since it was submitted between the 1st - 15th of this month. I hope that helps.

Your commission for this October show will be on the 22nd. The 22nd is for all shows submitted from the 1st - 15th.

It counts towards your November commission level since it was submitted in November but it won't count for SAT because those are for November dated shows HELD and submitted in November only.

It counts for your host and guests to get the October specials because we now have until the 15th of the following month to submit shows and still have them receive the previous months specials.

Clear as mud?
 
It will count towards November BUT not towards the SAT - the show is dated held in October - so it is a Oct show - but submitted in Nov (since it missed the deadline at 12)Shows for the SAT have to be held and submitted 11/1 thru SAT deadline (I don't have the paperwork near me)

I believe it will not count towards commissionable sales for October (percentage wise) as well - but WILL for November -

HTH
 
Ha - Jodi and I were typing at the same time -
 
Great minds Dor ;)
