Monthly payments
give experts the option to get paid immediately for a processing fee. At least 2 times a month. There are months I need to know I have payment coming at the 1st of the month or 1st business day of the month. I can't just guess when I'm going to get paid next month. Every regular job you're guaranteed to see pay the morning of pay day, and receive it the day before holidays.
I have several bills to pay and I'm sitting here refreshing Paypal, I know its "payment by the 4th business day of the month" but that just does not work. I would be willing to pay a $200 processing fee to be paid today. I have health insurance that was due January 1st and luckily it has not come out of my account yet. I miss this payment and now I'm risking losing insurance for the entire year. This seriously needs looked at. I can't go month to month wondering if I'm going to get paid or when I'm going to get paid. I quit my job a few months ago to pursue this full time, and now I'm risking a lot and I don't even known when I will get paid. Things like this will make experts leave, I guarantee you that.

Hi Cody!
I am sorry for the concern over payment dates. As you mentioned, the Expert Agreement states that monthly payments are made between the first and fourth business day of every month, and this schedule has always been followed without fail. We can only guarantee the time range, not the exact date, due to many factors. Experts are not employees, thus the same practice of paying an employee a paycheck does not apply here, but we do understand the need to have your earnings when you expect them, and we always take care to get them to you by the fourth business day.
One work around to due dates is to contact those recipients to get the due dates changed. Most companies will work with you to permanently change due dates to give you more peace of mind, and that's always a good thing! Payments should be going out today, but we do have until the fourth business day. Thank you for your continued patience, and for providing customers with an invaluable service!
