testers...Disability????dyslexia???

Get paid!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/ouch/2007/05/be_a_websurfing_home_tester.html
AbilityNet pay their testers £10 an hour for their work, on receipt of their fully written-up findings. A typical job may take up to 2 or 3 hours, including write-up time. The testing is done at home on the tester's own computer, and in their own time.

they are particularly looking for anyone with dyslexia who might be interested in taking part.

Its no good to me just found it whilst looking for other home testing things...
But It will be usefull to someone!

    This should be disapproved of. they are actually offering less than the national minimum wage to people with severe disability.

    it is tantamount to slavery and sets a very unwelcome precedent for preying upon disabled and disadvantaged people.

    in addition; it would seriously affect any benefit entitlement of disabled and disadvantaged persons. it is not unlikely that the employing organisation has to produce tax returns and in the course of routine investigations any so called testers would be affected.

    sorry for the rant but we need to move on from a culture of discrimination and abuse of the disabled.

    :mad:
    :o Keep trying.........................what else is there to do? :o

    :confused: £10 an hour is way above minimum wage

    Its says surveys will take around 2 to 3 hours, so as I read it, you'ld get paid £20 - £30.
