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.

d. The fee to reissue a check that is less than two years old and no longer negotiable is $10. The original check must be returned to
    Multipure.

    Multipure.
