According to my upline, they are paid in the current month for achievements made in the prior month, therefore, they count for the current month that they are applied. Meaning they are "earned" in January for your "paid as" in December and count for January 2011, not December 2010.

That is not how it works. I had a couple of months that I was paid as TL. I did not get the points in THOSE months. They update it on the 10th of the next month but it goes on the month earned (previous month).
I compared the incentive tracker to the performance tracker:
Feb - paid as D - 250 pts
March - paid as D - 250 pts
April - paid as TL - 0 pts
May - paid as D - 250 pts

I recently learned that even the bonus for recruiting is based on paid as in the month they quailfy. I just had 2 people get their $1250 in on the only month this fall that I didn't get paid as D so I got the lower TL bonus. IMHO that was taking the whole paid as thing too far.
Saying this to add credibility to my answer to the question of this thread. I know from experience when/how we get paid under this program.
THANKING GOD that we will have the "worse" of this behind us in March. There will still be "paid as" issues but they'll be in OUR hands. If I don't inspire enough of my team to work and I don't work myself, I won't get paid as D but at least it doesn't have to be the "chosen person" needing to submit. If we had had the new rules in place this whole time I wouldn't have had a single month paid as TL in the last 2 years.
Also, already, just with the promise of the coming changes, I have a couple of consultants who are now asking for guidance to promote! They wanted nothing to do with promoting under this program but the new one is exciting to them. I feel the pressure off. From the start of my business I always promoted recruiting and when I promoted to D I immediately had more than double the required 5 recruits in my downline because my recruits were recruiting. In the present program it was like pulling teeth. But I already feel the difference in me and in the team. We will grow!
