I think today was payday ... did I miss it? I submitted a show on April 2 but it was a March 21 show. I did this purposely so I would be active under the new plan and the old one.

If you didn't submit it until April 2, then you won't get paid for it until April 22nd. Shows must be submitted by the last day of the month to be included for payment for that month. (it's always been that way - nothing new) The April cut-off date is for those shows submitted by March 31st, but with some kind of conflict (like a declined card) - then you had until Apr. 2 or 3 to resolve the conflict and still be paid for March.

It has nothing to do with the date of the show - and everything to do with the submission date.
 
Shows submitted the 1 - 15th of the month (regardless of the date of the show) - get paid on the 25th.

Shows submitted from the 16th - end of the month (again regardless of the date of the show) - get paid on the 8th.
 
The same show can't make you active for two different months. It doesn't matter when the show was held as far as when you get paid, only matters when it was submitted.
 
I didn't think I had anything coming today since all of my stuff was at the begining of the month, but to my surprise, they deposited $.97 to my account today LOL! I forgot about an individual order, and by the time the did the insurance deduction, I was left with less than $1...

What I meant was that by submitting it in April, I would be active under both plans. I submitted $200 for February, so I was fine for March either way, but by submitting the March show in April, I was now active for both months.

I know there have been months where I submitted shows on the first day or so of the month and got a paycheck a few days later.

Good thing I have a mileage check coming from my real job.

Submitted 1-15th is paid on the 22nd, not 25th.

How does the April 2 Submission Trick work?

It's important for consultants to familiarize themselves with these requirements to ensure they can take advantage of this payment option.

What should I do if I miss the April 2 submission deadline?
