PAYMENT INFORMATION: Effective March 1, 2008
Pay Periods:
Nationwide Services Group, Inc. (NSG) pays all shopper fees and reimbursements if applicable via company check sent via USPO. We do not use PayPal or direct deposit. Please check your profile to make sure that your address is correct as this is the address we use when sending out your payment.
NSG pay periods are as follows:
Checks are cut the last week of each month. These checks will include all completed shops finalized between the 1st – last day of the previous month. (i.e. If you completed a shop anytime in the month of January – you will be paid the week of February 25th, etc.).
Payments may be subject to delay during holiday weeks. All payments are mailed via United States Postal Service. Your sassie log will reflect if your payment is pending or paid. On the date your check is mailed, your sassie log will be updated to reflect a PAID with the corresponding date. You should expect your payment within 3-7 business days from the date paid.
Your check will include your shop fee + any reimbursements if applicable on one check. Your responsibility as an independent contractor is to keep track of your own shop fees and expenses. Since you are working as an independent contractor for NSG, we do not withhold any portion of your fee for taxes. If you earn $600 or more in a calendar year for labor fees (shop fees only – not expenses), we automatically issue and mail you a 1099 form in January of the following year. If you earn less than $600, you are personally responsible for keeping track of your earnings and declaring them for tax purposes. If you have any other payment questions, please contact our company at info@nationwidesg.com or 1-800-914-SHOP.
Dear Mystery Shopper:
MSPA has some very important, and quite serious, information for you.
There are some very serious legislative threats that could deny you the right to work as an independent contractor and threaten the mystery shopping industry.
We urge you to contact your Senators and Members of Congress and implore them to oppose legislation that would undermine the legal recognition of independent-contractor status.
We ask that you contact your Senators and your Congressional Representatives in three ways:
Call their Washington or home district offices
Send them an email or submit a web-form message to them
Write and mail a letter to them (and copy us at the address on the bottom of this message or send a copy by fax or email)
The following are suggested points you should make in your communications:
I am an independent contractor (I do mystery shopping on contract with companies) and I strongly urge you to oppose any proposals that would threaten my right to work as an independent contractor
New laws that increase the risks to companies that do business with independent contractors put legitimate self-employed service providers – like me – out of business, because our clients will be afraid to do business with us.
Many companies that are clients of Independent Contractors qualify for Section 530 protection and need the certainty that Section 530 provides in order to continue doing business with independent contractors – like me.
IRS data indicate that the federal tax compliance rate for independent contractors whose earnings are reported on Forms 1099 is 97%, which is only 2 percentage points lower than the 99% compliance rate for employees--that is, we are, as a group, tax-paying, law-abiding citizens.
Now is an especially inappropriate time for the government to take any action that will depress economic activity, especially in the entrepreneurial sector.
If you have other "bullet-point" issues you think other MSPA shoppers might find useful in crafting their own messages, please send them to us via email to vikki@mysteryshop.org and we will add them to the list.
Thank you for your support in this very important effort.
