I also wondered where it is, because I haven't been paid yet 


Also kidding, so please don't come up with the usual reply (15th of the month etc.)

That makes this thread as silly as mine. Kidding. although it does seen as it should be automated. I know the 7th has been on weekends before.maybe it takes someone to  press the button. lol

Yeah.  The 7th was a weekend.  Mystery solved.  The sky isn't falling after all.

I just did a quick search of my payment e-mails since I returned to SS after being IS exclusive for a while (July 2011 onwards in other words)

The latest payment date was the 8th of the month in all that time.

My guess is that the bean counters have pointed out that paying early is costing them money and so they'll now wait until the stated latest date (and if we're lucky, the Friday before versus the Monday after if the 15th is a non-business day).

It's certainly fine for them to pay according to the contract, but it's yet another marker of change away from being a contributor friendly agency (cutting the EL payments, reducing referrals, siphoning off SODs to a selected few vs. all contributors).

I've been with them since 2004 (except for the 2008-11 hiatus) and they have been absolutely reliable with payments that whole time. I can't complain about on time payments by the 15th, but it's worth noting the change given the prior pattern is so long and so clear.

Edited to add that when I wrote this, I thought I hadn't been paid. Somehow this month's e-mail went astray. Not being paid by the 11th was what I was commenting on.

I thought I'd go check PayPal just in case and I had been paid on the 9th.

You're right. But here it is when we get paid on the 9th instead of 6-7-8 and it becomes a big story. Is it that hard to find things wrong that people here have sunk to nitpicking because Saturday was the 7th? This forum has become the home of misery and fault finding.

Exactly.   There are so many REAL problems with microstock and the agencies.  I just can't see making an issue of being paid on Monday instead of Saturday.   I wish that was my biggest problem!  I am a lot more concerned that this April payment from SS was roughly half what last years was.

So true.
