We Pay Court Reporters Every Friday
Weekly court reporter pay isn't a new concept for us. Todd Olivas & Associates has been running payments to the reporters we work with every Friday for years now. And the reason is because making reporters wait 30 days (or longer) to get paid for work they already did never made much sense to us.
So we fixed it.
The Setup Is Simple
Every Friday, we process payments for every court reporter who has jobs ready to pay. You have two options for how you receive your money:
* Direct deposit straight to your bank account
* Paper check if you prefer it the old-fashioned way
Once we process on our end -- which happens every Friday without exception -- your bank's own processing timeline determines exactly when the funds land. Usually a couple days. But we never hold things up on our side. Friday comes, payments go out. That's the deal.
No 30-Day Lag on Originals
Here's the part reporters really appreciate.
We pay on every original transcript you've turned in! There is no waiting for billing cycles to close, no waiting on your payment until a client invoice clears. If the job is in the queue (meaning you have turned it in) and ready to pay, it goes out Friday.
Full disclosure: certified copies follow the standard industry model. Which means we pay those out when we collect from the client. That's just how it works across the board. But originals? You're not waiting.
Why It Matters
Court reporters run real businesses. Predictable weekly income changes how you plan, budget, and we think… kinda how you feel about the agency you're working with.
We've been doing this quietly for years. No big rollout. Just Friday, every Friday, for every reporter who's turned in work.
If that sounds like the kind of agency relationship you're looking for, let's connect.
