Assignment Payment Policy - Payment Timing
Sentry's standard payment schedule: A pay statement is auto-generated on the 16th every month. It includes all assignments that were shopped (shop date) through the day before the new invoice is created. The payment processes approximately 45 days after the "Invoice Date" provided in the pay statement..
Example 1: If you complete an assignment on the 16th, it will be added to the new pay statement generated on the 16th of the following month.
Example 2: An assignment shopped on the 15th will be included on the new invoice created the next day; however, the automation only rolls assignments validated by our editors into the invoice. Those assignments with a shop date prior to the 16th BUT validated after the 15th, will be added to the invoice manually.
Exceptions: On occasion, a new invoice is created on another day of the month. This pay statement may or may not follow Sentry's standard payment schedule. If you have completed assignment(s) in this type of invoice, you will be notified if it has a different schedule.
