Tmes are hard instead of getting paid once a month how about twice a month for awhile?

We should be able to get paid every week at least, I am sure this would boost productivity also. I know some experts do other gigs instead because they can get paid by the day or weekly.

You read every reply but can't update something that's been posted 7 years ago and has 363 votes?

Looks like this has been "Under Review" for almost 2 years now. I know Pearl/JA is can be slow in implementing changes, but this is ridiculous. Anyone in the know want to post an update here?

Has this been worked on or is this still in the talks ? This would really help at times like Christmas and the Holidays as we do more spending and less saving.

I agree twice a month will be way better than monthly.
If some people don't want to be paid twice and month and will prefer once a month, once every six months or never, they should be given that option as well. Personally, I think some of those folks on here who don't want the twice a month option are just afraid that if the option were available, more experts will hop on to answer questions, meaning more competition for them :) Just saying.

I believe that a twice a month draw would increase the response rate as well! Instead of every expert and their brother hitting the PC at the end of the month before payday, they would also be hitting it in the middle. 2 weeks is not that long and I think it would motivate people more. I for one am throwing this 3 votes (I'd do more if I could).

This is a good idea, however, it would be nice to be able to opt out of this, if possible.

This would be a huge booster of morale as far as working ****** as one would see the fruits of their labor more immediately. I'm quite sure J/A corporate gets paid biweekly, just saying.

Come on JA - Give us Experts more options on getting the money that we have earned? You get your portion right away, and make interest off of it. There are several Experts that will keep it at the monthly rate that's in use now. But many of us would prefer the option of bi weekly. Please at least let us know WHY its not available. Thanks

I understand the difficulties that JA/Pearl would have with implementing this on a regular basis but it would be nice if we could have a request button to occasionally ask for the money early. This is my primary income and as a mother of young girls I know that having the money that is sitting in my account right now would allow me to provide them with a good Christmas since my extra income from this last payment went to unexpected car repairs!
I also believe that it would prove beneficial to have 2 week payments because I know for myself the beginning of the month starts off slow because my motivation is low! I know I have to wait a whole month for more money and I know that I have a whole month to make that money. The last half of the month I realize what a slacker I have been and pick up the pace quite a bit. In the previous month, 34% of my monthly earnings came in just the last 7 days of the month! If I knew I was getting paid twice a month I would probably be more motivated!!! But that's just me :)

I believe it would motivate experts more. If They have the option to draw twice. The cash flow would be more real and affective against bills that come do or unexpected expenses. If you dont want it dont sign up for it. But dont rain on a good thing for people who would like it. I have two daughters and This would help when they come to me and "Dad I Love You" Cause you know whats next.

I think we should be given the option of monthly or fortnightly payments.

i would like to see at least twice a month for the same reasons everybody else stated. Cash flow is important. I wish I could work all month and then kick back and have fun with my earnings. I am still paying bills with my earnings. Send me the money faster. Paypal is instant why not instant transfer.

If JA did do this, they wouldn't earn as much interest off of all of your earnings! I dont' think it will happen....

I've noticed taht at the beginning of the month I can make some decent funds here at JA because there are no experts around. Get near the end of the month and a lot of experts hop online. Is it because of the once a month pay and they know they will get paid soon when they answer at the end of the month? I mean, at times I wonder why I bother to sign on these last few day of the month because there are a lot of people answering questions then.

I agree with this idea and even further agree with it being a weekly payout, Response rate will increase drastically, Id love to dedicate more attention to JA, a weekly/biweekly payout would make that possible, its sort of like piece work, i can set a quota and get things done knowing i got a payment coming soon, a month is a long stretch

Based on my experience, I believe going to a biweekly pay system will increase the response rate. I work doing on-call and odd jobs. During the first part of the month, I will choose to take the jobs that pay daily or monthly over JustAnswer/Pearl because it will take longer than that to receive my pay from JA/Pearl. Towards the end of the month, I am more likely to choose working for JA/Pear over doing something else which might not be as enjoyable or readily available from home. I hope this can get worked out, because I would like to be spending more time working the site while having a better cash flow as well.
