I have had NRT quite a bit recently....is this common?? I signed off as soon as I got the word from LB that I had the job, as I had to register as SE. Starting to regret it a bit!!

I worked for them since early March and until this month, only had one week where it was a bit hit and miss and that was over Easter. The last few weeks have been awful

thank you, in a way it makes me feel better that my first few weeks have been out of the ordinary!

Just noticed that I got my first star rating and disappointed to see it was 2. I thought I was doing ok now after struggling a bit for the first couple of weeks. I was expecting to get an email about it with maybe some feedback, but haven't had anything. There is some task feedback (which I didn't think was too bad) on my feedback page. Is this all you normally get?

Ah.................no-one knows how this star works..................I got 3 for my first two months then jumped up to a 5. This month, I've dropped to a 2!!!! God only knows why as I haven't done anything differently!! I post on another forum and it seems there have been quite a lot of 2's this month...............I wonder if productivity (and NRT??) has anything to do with it? I have emailed them for advice but am not holding my breath!! Usually, all you get is the task feedback!

I only started working for them about 12 days ago, wondered when I would get my first star report and any feedback? Was hoping to get loads of work done today before School Holidays start and managed a hugeeeeeeeeeeee 11mins!!!!!

You won't have been rating enough yet to get stars........I'm guessing you'll get them the next time around which will be in four weeks time.

Does anyone know what happens if you get a one star rating in your first few weeks of working. I have done just three weeks and logged on today to find a one star rating!! :{ help:( Do I get a chance to improve?

I think a lot of the star rating is based on the quantity of tasks you complete. For the past 2 months i have had holidays and therefore booked blackout periods of 2 weeks each month, both months i only got 2 stars. This month i have managed over 10 hours every week and managed to get 3 stars.

PurpleCrocus : The portal does say those with 1 star 'Their services will not be retained' I guess you will hear from them soon.

I have a feeling someone on this forum previously got only 1 star and were asked to leave, but i think they did get all the pay due to them.

Maybe someone with more info will be along soon to help you.

Thanks for the reply, I was just hoping that as it was within the first four weeks of starting, they would be a little more lenient and advise me where I have been going wrong.
