We used to have models complete their paperwork, including their W9 and issue them a check immediately, now we have to go through an onerous procedure of signing them up as an employee and getting all their details into our system (which has a cost), and then paying them on payroll day which can be up to a week later (it's usually bank transfer but if they want check then it could be up to a week to get the check issued, and mailed, a few more days for them to receive and cash it.

All of this for a model getting paid between $300-$800, one time for 3-4 hours work.
It's completely pointless and backwards.
