My wife has to submit her mileage reports on a weekly basis. They are paid out in bi-weekly checks that are for the same dates as the pay period. She usually gets the checks three weeks after submitting the reports. Expenses are a different ballgame. She submits the report and receipts (which is now only hotel charges because she just gets food at Safeway for the week and doesn't eat out, company hassels her if she submits that receipt) the Friday she returns home. She only works Mon-Thurs. The check for those expenses take a minimum of SIX weeks to get to her, sometimes up to TEN weeks. There is ONE accts. payable person for ALL of Blockbuster and so things take a looooong time to be processed. Add even more time to that if my wife's boss is on PTO or in the Portland office.

Add to that, she is hourly and doesn't get to charge the time spent doing the reports since all hours are charged per store code, not to a central LP cost center like it used to be. It's ridiculous.
