Mine said paid as a Team Leader, but at the very bottom, above the Total Payment is a line that says "Transition Plan Adjustment".That is the amount that they ADDED to your pay if you were a Director before April 1st.I DID get paid as a Director under the old plan....but no Production Bonus....my upline got my $10 per consultant production bonus instead of me since I was really a "Team Leader"

.but no Production Bonus...

I had zero by my production bonus as well, but when I figured out manually what I should have earned under the old plan, the amount for my production bonus was figured into the Transition Plan Adjustment Payment... as far as I can tell... I think... but then, am really not sure!!!! :eek:

That could be....soooooo confusing!!!! I am just glad that they gave me back some of my Conference $$.
 
Wow these are so confusing. I'm bummed and on hold with HO now. I submitted $5,684 in sales and they were all April shows. So I should have earned FREE and they only gave me back $99.98. The only thing I can think of is one of my April shows went on hold on 4/30 for declined payment. I was able to get the payment resolved on 5/2. I will be getting a call back in 40 min. I hope they fix this.
 
I've been looking at this for 2 hours and seriously... it's the adjustment that keeps messing me up!!!!! :eek:
 
I got paid as a director under the new plan (no transition adjustment) but I didn't get my reimbursement for half price conference that I earned. My shows were not on hold and have been shipped but 2 of them were submitted on the 30th. I wonder if that is why? Since some of you have gotten the refund already do you think I need to call them about it? All of my sales were April sales so I know they all counted.

I wish they would show what we would have been paid in both programs so we could see the difference without having to do the math ourselves.

I got my call back, but I'm still on hold. I'll update you all after. I know one of my consultants who earned 1/2 price didn't get her refund either.
 
Someone else said the 1/2 price is being refunded AFTER conference--I guess to make sure that you really go? Check the fine print of the promo flyer (I haven't checked the flyer or my statement yet for myself).
 
I just got off the phone. Of my 40 min phone call, I spent 30 min on hold. I was transfered and on hold again. She looked through it all and said, yes you had the sales and all falls into play. She couldn't tell me why I didn't get the full refund. She has to look into it further and figure it out. She read the promo details and it says that full and half price will be refunded how you paid. So even she agreed I should of got the $200 in my commission. So now I wait until Monday for them to figure it out.

Right. I used conference club so I should be refunded that on my next paycheck (which from what you guys have said should have been today). I sent HO an email so I'm sure they'll check on it and let me know. It'll probably be on the next commission check.

I don't think they will wait to reimburse when we paid by conference club because if we end up cancelling we would be reimbursed the amount we paid at that time (so in my case if I cancelled I would be reimbursed $100 - once they give me the incentive refund).
 
Same here...earned half-price and didn't get a refund. Oh well, less money for me to spend! Maybe that's a good thing...

Okay that explains that. Bummer! So had the two new people that my team recruited qualified LAST month, ALL those bonuses would have been mine. We still got the old "bonus" right? What was it? $7 or $5 per team member?
 
I don't understand my paycheck either!! I second the vote with the comparison chart so I can try and understand it.

And, I earned free conference but was only reimbursed $100 and not $200. Weird!
 
From what I have experienced, and from what I expected, the new online stuff and new career plan haven't had as many bumps as I imagined. I think HO is doing a great job, but we still need to gently let them know (complain :D) when we are confused or something is wrong.

Absolutely! They have been looking at all of this stuff for months and it totally makes sense to them! We need to be guided through it...
 
I earned 1/2 price conference too, but did not get the refund...

Nothing for me either. They flyer said we'd be refunded in the manner we paid and there is no credit pending in my bank account either (I paid in full via PC debit).
 
Just thought to check on... I registered for conference the day it opened and my refund from overpaying conference club was on my mid-month commission and it's listed there but not on the month-end. Maybe check there?

I paid with conference club. I had $283.33 in conference club and $83.33 was refunded mid month. I then at month end was refunded $100 out of the $200.
 
Still trying to figure mine out. I do a breakdown every month of my own and I am usually either right on the money or slightly off.

I was paid less than what I had figured so I am now setting up my spreadsheet to reflect how they have our commission set up. What I am finding is that I was paid more for somethings that I thought I would not be paid, and less for somethings that are not broken down into as much detail. Determined to figure it out, however!!

I am not a conference club member and I did not receive a half off refund so it must be later that we get that. Usually I am a CClub member but just didn't sign up for it this year. Hope I don't regret it because it helped me balance conference costs out!

I completely agree Beth. My cluster and I met the requirements for Director under both plans (to include both SR consultants and their consutants being active)...but my commisson statement shows a small transition adjustment (@$5). I've tried figuring out why the difference, but I'm jet lagged and tired...brain feels scrambled. Having a comparision of the two program's payments would help. Maybe I can figure it out tomorrow.
 
I'm totally confused, too. Mine shows what I was paid (the amount that showed up in my account), and another line for Transition Plan Adjustment Payment, but that amount is not in my account. Did anyone else who shows the Transition Plan Adjustment Payment line on their statement not have that amount added?
 
I just got an answer back on the subject of reimbursement for the free and half price conference:

"Thank you for contacting The Pampered Chef. Please advise if you registered before or after you achieved the discounted rate. If you registered before, you will need to update your online registration. This discount you earned will appear in red in the registration page and you will need to SAVE your registration to update your finance record. Then you will be refunded in the same manner you paid."


So.....
I went there and it seemed to already be done. It said "refunded 5/5" so now I'm waiting to see what they say next since I did not get that refund yet. Still confused...
 
That seems clear as mud!! Thanks for checking into this, Beth.
 
Mine says it was refunded on 5/1 to my PC debit, but there is still nothing in my bank account.
 
Mine was refunded. When you click on the "Update Registration" on the Conference site, mine said something to the effect of half off promotion. Then I clicked on "view confirmation" and at the bottom it shows where my card was charged $200 and then refunded $100.

Hope this means everyone elses was too!
 
Mine is still wrong. I earned free and my registrations shows refund of half. I got a call back Monday from HO saying I did earn free and they were correcting it and I would see it in my next check. But I'm concerned that my registration doesn't show it yet.
 
This is my breakdown:

I earned free and I only have been refunded $100:
Conference Club 4/29/09 $100.00 (Refund)
Conference Club 4/14/09 $83.32 (Refund)
Conference Club 4/14/09 $283.32
 
I'm going to sit down and figure it out.

How much did we get for an:
active consultant? It was $7.50, right?
Indirect recruit- $5???
