Paying Your Top Echelon Network Brokerage Fee via ACH

Top Echelon Network is able to accept ACH transfers for Top Echelon’s 6% brokerage fees from its members.

How does it work?

As the job recruiter in a split placement situation, you will receive an email (from: quickbooks@notification.intuit.com) based on the “expected pay date” listed on the placement form.  This email will contain the subject line of “Your Invoice is Ready for Placement #,”  the amount of the 6% brokerage fee, the placement number, an attachment of the actual invoice for your records, and a link to our QuickBooks (QB) portal, where you will enter your bank information and submit the payment.  [Please note that we cannot accept credit cards for payment of brokerage fees.]

To help make the process easier, we will send a series of email reminders that will include ACH instructions. Below is the email reminder schedule: 

• Approximately 7 days prior to “expected pay date”
• Approximately 7 days after “expected pay date” 
• Approximately 14 days after “expected pay date”

We calculate that you should have received the payment from your client within these timeframes.

What do I need to do?

You do NOT need to have a QuickBooks account to pay the brokerage fee by ACH. It will work for QB users and QB non-users alike.

Will it cost me?

There is no transaction fee on your end for paying Top Echelon through this method.  However, you need to check with your bank to see if it has any associated transaction fees.
