You need to request to do petrol audits rather than MS visits. If I had the choice over again I wouldn't be doing the Auditing.

Can you please explain why you will not be doing petrol auditing?

Doesnt pay enough and if I have to go out in a suit I'm prohibited from doing a good proportion of the other shops I normally do as I'll stand out. The fee for the audits should be about twice what they pay. If they had the tablets up and running it'd make things a bit easer at least.

I have never done one in a suit, just 'business casual' and I think the fee is fair for 60 minutes for the audit (my first one took a bit longer) and approx 15 minutes to input, which is mainly tick box answers and 3 document uploads.

Just started doing audits and I just dress normally complete with my very fetching reflective waistcoat! I don't own a suit

I too like them as they are straightforward for a reasonable fee.

But compare it to the normal petrol one, which only takes 5 minutes plus 10 to input, for only a few quid less.

Fair comment, but I have never seen a petrol MS visit.

Gap have told me I have to wear a suit when I do them. If you lot are getting away with smart casual I think I might pick them up some more.

And RA had blocked my account.

Got an email which said, and I quote

"Unfortunately your account with us has been blocked.

This is because you emailed us to state that you did not think our fees were high enough for you to complete visits."

This was received in response to an email I sent specifically asking if my account had been blocked as they did not have the decency or spine to tell me. Can they please be removed from the front page, or at least be listed in a "These firms pay crap amounts" section?

Briefing says: "Please dress in appropriate casual business attire when visiting the site AND wear a Safety Vest when auditing the site. (No leathers, hat/cap or sunglasses are allowed)"
