Title: Payment date changed
Post by: Steveball on December 01, 2016, 20:29

Earlier today it stated that I'd get paid on Dec 1st, now it says Jan 1st! Anyone else notice this?

I can see that on the dashboard, but if you look at your account balance page it shows they've initiated the funds transfer. I also received their PDF "Remittance Advice" showing the payment is coming.

At a guess, the code that shows when you'll be paid reacts when there's any balance to show first of next month and they haven't cleared the amount from December out even though the payment is being initiated.

Yes, that would explain it.
It seems that they have initiated the Dec 1st payment, but today a payment/aggregation of payments came in, which is already over the minimum, therefore the info that I'll also be paid next month.

Thanks for the replies, it's just that this will be my 1st payment from Alamy and I'm unsure of the process.

My theory (above) was wrong.
I had $163  ready to be paid on Dec 1st. Then it changed to Jan 1st with an amount of $94(ish), which I assumed as above must have been payment/s received yesterday.
However, today the balance is $0, so I have no idea what the $94(ish) referred to.

I was thinking that I need to request earning from Alamy

now I see my payment is on its way automatically

That's a usual glitch on the first of the month, nothing to worry about.

So, today I went to "Build downloadable sales report" tab on Alamy main contributor page, and there it shows some type of income for 15$ for 19.12.2016

It says License type: Other income
Sale price: 15$
Deduction: 0
Due: 15$
Also there is no Alamy ref or Agency ref. Both fields blank.

Also, my sales statstic doesn't show any sales at 19.12.2016. Does anybody has clue what would that be?

DACS payment?

I have no idea what's that, so, probably not?

If you look at your account balance (not sales report), it'll say "DACS Payment 2016" if that's what it is - my DACS payment (https://www.dacs.org.uk/for-artists/payback) was on Dec 19th

You're right. It's there. Thanks.
