Have been allocated a ORIENTAL visits by the company that cannot be named. It says I need to wear a fleece, !!!!!!? I got accepted today and have to do it tomorrow. Looks like a right farce, the amount of work for the fee mentioned. Has anyone else done one? If so, pm me or help on here. Also, are we allowed to drop out if the fee is too small for the work they expect or is that just rude once you have been allocated something? Many thanks.

Yes and Yes

Payment is automatic now. I got my "payslips" last week and money went into my account yesterday (and I needed it!).

check your payslips closely though

ive been through all the ones i had, and there was approx £85 missing over them, have emailed up and they are are correcting now.


i still invoice them though just using their template and alter it accordingly. its useful to keep as a track for just their jobs, and im glad i did now to query the missing amounts.

These are the 'fleece jobs' we've been mentioning!! I still haven't got mine though, and it is quite chilly in the fridges out the back!! Hopefully I'm not the only one who's committed for the whole project that's still waiting?!?

The amount of work isn't tooo horrendous, just faffy!! Don't forget you only have to be there for a set time even if everything's not done. They are a bit of a faff though, particularly the first visit when you've got to find the different ranges etc. I did my third one today and was out before the hour was up as everything was done.

That said actually, the other regular work I do for them is the cinema ones, and when comparing the time taken and simplicity of them, for a slightly higher fee, that does make this project pretty poor!!

I'm currently on my second job in two days RE are trying to not pay me for.

This time it's a wrong angled photo of the sandwhich. Good job I took two photo's isn't it

Lets see if the second is acceptable. Next time I do this job, i'm going to take 20 photo's of the dam thing from every angle.

Whats best is, if you get a proper side view, it would be rejected because the reciept wasn't clear enough.

ohhhh, they are getting on my nerves this week.

I had this issue a few weeks ago - luckily I had taken several photos. It took 3 attempts to get them to accept one. They claimed they could not see the filling and I had to respond that I could clearly see the tuna and that they should look harder.

Just got an email from RE about eye test visits. Got a tad excited as I could do with one and they aren't cheap as a student, logged in and could see anything. :mad:

If you're a student on a low income then you really should fill out a HC1 form so that you can get a HC2 certificate entitling you to free NHS prescriptions and eye tests etc. I had one, saved me loads of money!

or if you happen to live near Ramsgate you should log on to REACT and apply for the eye test job on there...Could you not see anything on RE because you need an eye test or because there were no jobs:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Its funny how we are all different as I didn't think the fee was bad. Partly because my two are both very close to my house (one is just 4 miles away) and partly because its regular. This means I can plan other visits in that area knowing I will be visiting. I love regular work as I don't have to waste ages on different websites looking for work.
