There are quite a few jobs for me on RE so far this year too - although I haven't accepted any of them. I think there are new MS'ers in Gloucester though, as the jobs there are being snapped up way quicker than they ever used to be.

As for the pharmacy jobs, we've had this discussion before with the wine shops - for some people, the shop is close enough, or near another MS shop and the item is something that they want, so they may as well get paid, even a measley amount for it.
There are lots of people who are in a position to be fussy about the jobs they accept, but there are also a lot of people who are not so lucky.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop mentioning client names!

Sorry to moan but most of the posts above this one have one client name in or another. These occurrences will only lead to lower fees when said clients get taken over by different MSing companies; then everyone will be complaining.

It is in the opening post of both this and the alerts thread, not to mention being in the T's & C's of every MSing agreement you made.

Sorry again, but following basic rules is very easy!

It says in the notes than you mustn't use a voucher.
I bet if I tried it they wouldn't pay me!
Has anyone contacted TNS to see how strict this is, given that they also say your co-diner won't be reimbursed for their meal, yet they do pay up?

I have contacted them and was told 'definately no' - so quite a risky strategy really.
Personally I can't see how it would affect your shop as you hand it over at the final payment stage, but I'm not prepared to not get paid!

Only 5 jobs listed in my area (well, at least 20 miles away) for RE and two of them are airside. Rubbish. Living in the wrong area!

Does anyone know whether Aba-i make all companies available straightaway? I signed up about a week ago but only see one company listed and they've got nothing available at present - and there's nothing listed under Booked Visits too.

Hi All

Just completed my first job and want to make sure I'm getting things right as far as tax liability goes so can someone confirm I've worked this out correctly as I have another Job and am going to put this into two accounts one for tax and one for a lump sum payment to reduce my mortgage.

I did a job for RE with a £5 fee, it was a five mile round trip so @ 40p per mile that's £2 and printed 8 sheets with Job notes and a copy of the questionaire @6p per sheet thats 48p meaning my liabilities are only on the remaining £2.52 so thats 50p tax as a basic rate taxpayer and 28p for my NI top up.

Thanks for all your help

You need to sign up to each individual client and then they'll be visible on your page. There's not always a visit available for all clients; they'll be put on in batches at some point during the month. Booked visits are the one's you have agreed to do (hence it being empty at the moment for you!).
HTH


aj76 - looks OK to me.
