Mine is in today ( jobs to 17th). Clydesdale Bank.

Didn't do any Coffee (Sassie) jobs TG.

Also got money transferred from Paypal in just one day.

I'm not gonna bother to do their coffee jobs anymore. It's a farce. They pay peanuts, and the 3 I did, have all been graded 5/10 !!! Idiots.

I've got a payment in my bank this morning which I think must be TNS, as the amount ties up with the supermarket jobs I did earlier in the month - but I've not been paid for the coffee jobs I did via the Sassie system. Anyone else in the same boat?

I'm the same - supermarkets paid for, but not the two coffee jobs. Hubby not paid for coffee either.

Think this happened last time round - the coffee jobs seem to take longer for payment - goodness knows why????? I did them one/two weeks before the supermarkets..........

Not just you.....think they have a stingey proofreader this time round. Normally get 9s, got 7s this time and made a concerted effort to add quotation marks etc.

Agree they aren't worth doing, especially if the late payment going to be a regular thing.....

I appear to be missing the coffee jobs as well, although it didn't surprise me that they were missing as they weren't proofread and scored until after the pay run date even though they were done at least 10 days before this. I felt that it was all very RE-esque tbh. Talking of RE I spoke to a proofreader there this morning as I wanted to add something to a report that I had forgot about and they sounded fairly human.

As for the cheque book I have one somewhere but it is that old the cheques have 'Royal Bank of Scotland' written on them rather than RBS.

TNS Supermarkets and DIY has gone in today
Although they have been sneaky with some extra expenses, where they agreed to pay me an 'additional' amount for expenses as they were majorly desperate, but they have actually given me that 'additional' amount as the total including reimbursement and fees. So will gave them an email and have a moan.

never had any problems/queries with Gap and had 2 chicken jobs booked for next week, which were approved. Just logged on and see they have both now been rejected/cancelled! I didn't do it! Any ideas why?

I would email them on the contact form and ask what has happened. Have you shopped the outlet recently?

Personally I find Gap jobs straight forward and nearly always come with a premium added. The staff are very pleasant to deal with and the feedback forms quick and easy to use.

May I ask for some advice please?

I have been allocated a cinema audit for an adult film after 8pm. I have seen some comment here before that these can take ages.

1. I have to count the number of people in the cinema at different points - there are two entrances into the seating area so this will be impossible to do accurately - how do experienced auditors cover this? These also need to be recorded at different points so need to be able to keep track of people entering for various points whilst actually watching the trailors as well so eyes need to be on both entrances for counting and on the screen for recording times etc... seems I am missing something here

Help please:o

Firstly you are talking about a different type of audit then those people are reffering to on the board... the audit you are talking about i do all the time takes 15-20 min at most and if you have a wicked projectionist who can give you all the names of trailers etc beforehand and you just watch for timings.

As for counting.. I dont do that.. .I count the people coming into the theatre at different times... and then the cinema tells me the number of tickets sold

I.E-- heres how I write it down

Trailers- +5
Adverts + 3
Film Started 0

Total tickets sold 10

So I know that there were 2 people in for the trailers... then 7 people in for the adverts.

and I suggest reading the briefing notes again for it.. because your not really keeping your eye on the screens per say as the trailers are on you just note down the name.

I can't gointo much more detail as said company doesn't like that.
