Due to chronic health issues, I will probably be going in active starting June 1.

Could use some advice, please...

Will my PWS still be active?
Can people order?
If so, what about commission? What happens ? :)

Sorry but I have been so sick, haven't read all the fine print on the PWS contract.
 
You should put in for a sales waiver first rather than just going inactive.
 
Your PWS will stay up until you cancel it. If people order, you will not earn commission unless you're active (need $200 in one month to reactivate).

Thanks Chef Ann and all who responded publicly and privately.

Poor choice of wording on my part, I am filing w/HO for a Personal Sales Requirement Waiver, sorry I wasn't more clear.
 


Hello, I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. I hope you are taking care of yourself and getting the rest you need. To answer your questions, your PWS will still be active, but you will not be able to take on any new orders or parties during your inactive period. However, customers can still place orders through your PWS and you will receive commission on those orders once you become active again. If you have any further questions or concerns, please reach out to your upline or our customer service team for more information. Take care.
 

Frequently Asked Questions
