Commission Based IC Pay Structure
Commission-based independent contractors (ICs) are paid two times per month as follows:
1st - Requested Advancement (Approved by Sales Manager)
16th - Balance of Commission Payment
Accounting inputs the approved commission amount into the subsequent Accounts Payable (AP) report by the 10th of the month. The AP report is submitted to senior management every Tuesday for approval. Once management approval is received, checks are mailed out within 24 hrs of the approval.
Exception: When the 10th falls on a Tuesday then the AP report will be on the following Monday.
If an independent contractor wishes to pick up their check, a written request via email to accounting@crittendenresearch.com, must be made before the AP report is approved. Accounting will hold the check for 24 hours, and if not picked up within that time, the check will be mailed.
For advancements, requests must be sent to the Sales Manager by the 15th of the month. If approved, the request must reach accounting by the 20th. The requested amount will be included in the following AP report, produced on the next Tuesday. Similarly, if an independent contractor prefers to pick up their check, a written request via email to accounting@crittendenresearch.com, is required before the AP report is approved, and Accounting will hold the check for 24 hours before mailing it if not picked up.
