    Isnt there another company that does internet assesing? I recall seeing another name :-S
  • Leap Force does the same work. :) I have heard LB pays more than LF but that LF allows you to work more hours.

    May not have to wait two months, I was paid the month after I started working. Congrats to all the new assessors!

    I agreed to accept all tasks, but it stands to reason that if you turn down a particular type, you will have fewer assignments.

    Is anyone else having problem with timesheet entry? I cannot save my time and keep getting Java script errors. Don't know if it's my laptop or them. Surprise, surprise, no reply from my emails to LB!

    Well still having problems with my timesheet here :(.

    Have been having an in depth look at the requirements and how long I spent and cannot find anywhere where 12 hours need to be removed from - have sent them an email asking for a breakdown, but given the lack of response people have been getting, I have a feeling they won't bother.

    Does that mean you get two months pay in one go?

    Congratulations on passing the test ! No, unfortunatly you dont get paid two weeks at once. It takes so long because at the end of each month they take a few weeks to check all the time sheets youve submitted. If they approve them, you then wait about say 3 weeks until payday and then 3-5 working days for the transfer to reach your account. So, overall its actually a bit less than two months from the end of the billing month eg end April until when youll receive the cash eg mid June. Obviously, this is a rolling process, so once youve had this initial wait for your first wage, you then get paid every month thereafter :) I hope that makes sense; I confused myself trying to write it !! :rotfl:

    I appreciate that there is a confidentiality clause, but hopefully someone could answer my question without breaking that.

    When agreeing to the T&C's have you accepted that you are willing to do all the particular tasks, and if not does it affect the amount of work offerred in future?

    I did not agree to all the tasks and apart from a lull we all had around the easter holidays have had plenty of work :)

    Ah I just got my email at 6.30pm, it started with "thank you for taking the test" etc etc, unfortunately you didn't get it, so that's me out! I hope you 3 do better than I did, and you'd better let me know how you get on. Good luck guys xx

    aah sorry to hear that :(
    I passed, by the skin of my teeth I reckon, but woo hoo, so glad to have a bit extra to get my debts down :D

    Congrats to all who made it x

    I didn't agree to do certain types of tasks - but unfortunately it didn't stop them, so be aware that you still might get some of these. Sometimes you can tell before you open the task, in which case you can release it, but it isn't always obvious, which I suppose is how they can sneak through to those of us who opted out.

    But no, it didn't seem to affect the amount of other work offered, as most work isn't of this type.
  • Hi Everyone

    I have just been accepted into the program and am currently waiting for my welcome pack.:j
    I'm from the UK and wondered if anyone on here would be able to answer a couple of questions for me.
    Firstly - our 11 month contract, does anyone know if this can be renewed after a short break? or once your done that's it?
    Secondly - I understand that you cannot work through a subsidiary/umbrella company but has anyone used their own LTD company for tax reasons etc, do Liondbridge allow invoicing from your own company?

    I'm hoping this works out well for me as an extra source of income and that I will enjoy the work as it appears more varied than I thought.

    Thanks

    Taz

    Anyone having problems with the system today? I seem to be submitting and it will stick for a while and load a blank page.....was fine all day yesterday but constantly happening today - pretty frustrating when you want to get the hours in!
