SAN DIEGO, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- America's Vacation Center (AVC), one of the leading travel agencies in the nation, today announced it will being paying its affiliated agents weekly via direct deposit.

AVC is once again leading the travel industry by offering weekly, automated commission payments via direct deposit for the hundreds of professional travel agents in its network. While most host agencies pay their affiliated agents monthly, AVC is able to meet agent demand for weekly commission payments by using Agent Power(TM), AVC's proprietary software. A fully integrated Web-based and industry-leading sales management system for professional travel agents, Agent Power also has real-time commission reporting and Commission Tracker(TM), which automatically finds and collects unpaid commissions.

Weekly commissions via direct deposit will provide AVC professional travel agents with the ability to improve their budget accuracy and will decrease the lull many independent contractors experience during the month when waiting for their payments.

"AVC prides itself on its shared-success model, and there is no better way to motivate independent contractors than by giving them recognition of their hard work in a reliable, timely manner," said Van Anderson, co-president of AVC. "By offering our agents weekly commission payments, we provide them with a near real-time and consistent income that they can depend on in order to run their home-based companies more efficiently and effectively."
