Commission Processing
Commission Payment Period
The payment period for commissions is the first day of a calendar month through the last day of a calendar month. Commissions are paid twice a month.
a. The mid-month commission check is mailed out within 10 business days of the 16th day of the current month. This check includes
commissions for direct sales received on or before the 16th of the month.
b. The commission Closing Date is the first business day following the last day of the month. The month-end commission check
is mailed out within 10 business days of the Closing Date. This check includes commissions and bonuses, payments for direct sales,
and downline sales made throughout the month.
Prepaid orders postmarked before or on the last day of the month and
received no later than the
Closing Date are included in the month's commission.
c. A Distributor's current Personal Activity Reward (PAR) status, cumulative Achievement Level Volume
(ALV), and Monthly
Achievement Level Volume (MALV) are shown only on the month-end check.
d. Earnings of less than $10.00 per order will accumulate until cumulative earnings equal $25.00 or a single payment exceeds $10.00
in any one month, whichever occurs first.
e. Please allow sufficient time for checks to be delivered by the U.S. Postal Service before making inquiries
about a payment.
Commission Timing
a. U.S. Mail: Multipure pays commissions on all orders received by the last day of the month, or postmarked no later than the
Closing Date (the first business day following the last day of the month). NOTE: Mail deposited in a mailbox on a weekend is not
postmarked until the following business day (e.g., Monday); if it is the end of the month, that mail will not be postmarked until
the next month and will not meet the deadline for the current month's commission.
b. Fax: Faxed orders must be received by the last day of the month.
c. Online: Online orders must be submitted by the last day of the month.
d. Telephone: Telephone orders may be submitted by the last day of the month and still count for
commission. Orders after the last
day count toward the next month's commission.
Additional Charges and Fees
a. Commission checks that are lost, stolen, or no longer negotiable can be reissued for a fee. NOTE: "No
Longer Negotiable" is
defined as any check deemed expired or too old (i.e., "stale") for acceptance
by a bank or other financial institution for cash
exchange, deposit, or other purpose.
b. The fee to reissue a lost or stolen check is $30.
c. Stop payments on lost commission checks incur a $30.00 fee.
