    I got a payment from TNS today but it was nowhere near as much as I was expecting. They still owe me money from jobs in November and December so I could do with breakdown of what the payment is for - there's no way to find this out online is there?

    Don't think there is - there are paper payslips for TNS that get sent out but don't think you can access it online.

    I checked back to when I did phone jobs before and they were in November (got paid in December) and June (got paid in July) so going by that and the "urgent" queries I was asked a few weeks ago I was expecting to get paid today for the ones I did in February. When I was doing train jobs for TNS (through sassie website) they were paying on Fridays and weekly I think so they can make payments more often than once a month.

    Thanks, I didn't think there was a way to check online - I'll just have to wait for my payslip!

    My Gap was in yesterday afternoon with HSBC, same day as my salary, exciting times as I've now paid off my entire credit card: Debt Free. Awesome :D

    Now to carry on MS-ing to save for a holiday/car insurance. A few healthy premiums for Gap have done nicely this week :)

    Congratulations!! I'm still a little way away from being debt free. Think I need to sell some things (and stop buying them!!).
  • Hi all,

    I was just wondering if anyone knows how long Bare usually take to allocate jobs to someone after they have applied for them? I'm new to using them. I applied for one assignment and was called within the hour to have it assigned to me. I completed this and the reports, and have now applied for another assignment, but haven't heard anything from them since (over a day).

    I was just wondering what their usual practice is, i.e was my first experience unusally fast for them, or is this time unusually slow. Do they even call if you get rejected?

    Any help much appreciated

    I think pretty much when it suits them to be honest, I have never had a rejection email only found out when I logged on I hadn't got it, I did get an email to say I got them. As for notifying, sometimes ive found that when it gets near to the shop start date it will then go through. HTH

    I've found occasionally I have been called but generally you get an email if you have been assigned the job and nothing if you haven't. If you look at your job applications you can see if it's still there as pending - if it is then you might get it. If you have got it, it will say job assigned to you and if you haven't it just disappears.

    I have the same problem, I was expecting so much more from TNS and got about a quarter of what I was expecting. Pretty annoying as I was relying on that money to pay for my car being MOT'd and serviced. :(
  • Just reading through the slapper briefs for the 2 wee stores nearest me and remembering why I haven't done them for a couple of months; so many questions and so few counters/staff in store to ask! Might as well get my big "I'm a mystery shopper" badge polished up.

    Decent fees though :D
