Payments

1. All current subscribers in the distribution list, except for those which have registered within the last seven days or which have previously been paid out are accounted for. Each of these active unpaid subscribers are flagged as having been paid, and the sponsors account is updated. Active subscribers get paid out so long as they've been active for more than one week prior to the monthly payment calculations.
2. Any subscriber who removes him/herself from the distribution list that has not yet been paid out, is counted into the sponsors total of unpaid inactive subscribers. Each of these subscribers instantly moves to being in a payable position as there are currently no checks done to see if the subscriber had been registered for a given period of time.

A sponsors account will only get paid out when it has reached a certain minimum cheque value. Until this time, the sponsors account is simply accounted for and tracked. Monthly statistics are kept for each sponsor showing the payment that they would have received in that month, and it is the resonsibility of the newsletter administrator to ensure that cheques do get sent when required.
