Hey guys, as you know my town is under a disaster zone due to the fires in Palm Bay. Well, Kasey who's street is still on fire needs to turn in $92 to stay active this month. I know she can request a special waiver due to the disasters but does anyone know more information?

I want to tell her about it so she doesn't stress over it but I want to have all info for her when I speak to her.

TIA!!
 
Call HO right away Kristi - I think she would need to just get the paperwork in right away with a reason. I don't see them denying it!!!!
 
Paperwork and information should be on Consultant's Corner.

I just did the search and it's on page 16 of policies and procedures. It doesn't say anything about a limit.

Thanks Janet, I'm going to let her know.

Awesome - I didn't think there was! How can you restrict someone to "X" number of "natural disasters" in their life!

I do think you can't apply for a "constant waiver" or go beyond 3 months in one calendar year or something similar.
 
Here's the text from Consultant's Corner:

Request for Personal Sales
Requirement Waiver
A request for waiver of the personal sales requirement
($200 in any consecutive two-month period) may be
granted for up to three months for the following reasons:
• Medical
• Relocation to a new permanent residence more
than 100 miles away
• Family/personal crisis
• Disaster (tornado, flood, fire, etc.)
Only Consultants who have already submitted commissionable
sales or recruited a new Consultant are eligible. Consultants
must submit their own waiver requests.
Submit a written request or e-mail to the Home Office by
midnight CT on the last business day of the second month
(the last calendar day if submitted electronically) totaling
less than $200 in commissionable sales.
The last business day of the month excludes weekends,
published holidays and published Pampered Chef® holidays
listed in the Consultant News.
Generally, the personal sales requirement will be waived for
only three months within any 12-month period. Consultants
must submit $200 in commissionable sales in the month
following a waiver.

If you sell $200 in any month during the waiver period
and wish to discontinue the waiver status, you must notify
the Solution Center department in writing prior to the last
business day of the month (the last calendar day if submitted
electronically) in which the sales are submitted.
All requests will be reviewed and approved at the sole
discretion of the Home Office.
A waiver of personal sales requirement waives the $200
minimum sales requirement to maintain active status. It
also waives a Director’s requirement of $750 core sales to
receive monthly overrides or to avoid a relinquishment
month. It does not waive a Future Director’s requirement
of $1,250 to receive a bonus on personal sales and personal
recruits’ sales.
 
When I requested a personal sales waiver for the time I was going through some personal issues, I just sent an email to HO with the request and told them briefly (2-3 sentances) about what was going on and that was it. It was approved with no additional questions.
