New message on GFK website and it's good news..............

29th January - Please note the below change in the frequency and cut off points for when you are paid

As of the 25th February 2010 we will be changing the frequency you are paid from once a month to twice a month.
Payments will now be made on the 10th and 25th of each month (or the working day before if it falls on a Saturday, Sunday or English Bank Holiday)

Below is a list of Paydates and Cut off Dates for the next 6 months.
Cut off Dates are the last date in which you can enter results to be paid on that paydate.

Look on the website for full details.

Have to say thats the one thing I do like about RE which I wish some of the other companies would follow, nothing worse than getting to the end of the month to find the MS 'float' to be almost totally depleted with a few jobs left to do before other companies pay!
So thats RE, GR and now GFK with payments every other week which is sooo much better than the month in arrears with the likes of GAP.

TG - Your PM space is full deary.

I've done 5 nuts and snacks today and 3 tomorrow, I'll let you know how the uploading goes. I did get accused of being a pervert in one supermarket as they have had people taking pictures of children before!

About a 9 for me - but I did end up forgetting one photo and driving back to the store for it!

I did my first visit for REACT this week. It went smoothly and filling in the questionnaire was straight forward. I haven't received any comments or shop rating yet though. Do they always do it or only when they need to?

They don't tend to bother with comments and don't rate jobs

I've done quite a few jobs and never had a rating. I like working for them the staff seem really nice.

Thank you both, I'm relieved to hear that!:) Yes, they seem to be a good company. I like the fact that they pay for mileage/public transport. The return journey to the store by bus cost me £4.50. I wouldn't have bothered to do the job if I wasn't gonna paid for it. It feels a bit weird to get paid for the trip. I wish all other companies did the same!

I have worked for them for years. They are one of my favourite companies. Comments are given very occasionally. They don't rate on Sassie (but clearly use other criteria when assigning). And, yes, the staff are the best I have come across.
