MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD 17 - please don't mention client names or fees on here!!

Is there something I'm doing wrong with Performance in People, as I had a report to submit last night, which I started at about 9:30pm ish, and it didn't take the the hour that it says you have before it goes 'idle' so that can't be the problem, but when I came to submit it, the little status bar at the bottom of the window had the little yellow triangle and said Error on Page, and nothing would happen when I tried to click submit.
I did screenshots of all of the questionnaire so I could copy it again if necessary, and ended up having to log in again and try again, copying everything from my previous screenshots, and THE SAME BLOODY THING HAPPENED - NOTHING!!!
I copied and pasted all my answers to word so I could easily redo it, but I must have done it about 5 times, then it got to past midnight, so was telling me it was late!
I was so tired and frustrated I was literally in tears!!! How silly now I think about it this morning, but anyway that's beside the point.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?!?!?!?! It's my first job for them so I've not had to submit results before, and probably look really bad to them now! I sent an email to Laura (I think) to say I couldn't get it to work, so am hoping I can manage to submit it and still get paid, because I spent soooo long on it in the end! At least because it's a bank they can't get someone else to do it today!!

just wondered, have a query on a report i did the other day where you are meant to accept an upsell if they offer it - only realised when got home you are meant to accept it...arghhh....will this mean i dont get paid? has anyone else done this?

Is it with GAP? If so, you haven't got much hope, they will use any excuse to not pay you.

Other companies you might be alright.

Have you tried a different Browser? I have had problems in the past and find Internet Explorer is more compatible with PIP. HTH

I would second this, I have a few sites that just don't work with Firefox so use Chrome for them.

Yeah Pip I use IE.

Hi Guys,
new to all of this and just trying to work out the tax situation, im sure you get silly questions all the time - but I get how it works, pretty much however just wanted to know whether you get a tax bill at the end of the year or do they take some monthly or what? this is in addition to my full time job and get taxed at 20% there already, so i no MSing will be 20% as well, just wondered if someone could clarify this for me? thanks very much
