Does anyone MS for Grassroots?

If so have you noticed that they seem to be really slow at paying?

Did a couple of visits for them back at the beginning of July and previously would have expected to get paid on the 15th but didn't get paid until the end of the month and the same seems to be happening this month as well

Only slow ones for me are the chemists, I understand that is down to the client. being paid at the end of the month following the job is quite normal, in fact GR are pretty quick paying most of their jobs.

I have always found Grassroots to be very prompt payers but there are some abberations depending upon who the client is.

I did a chemist job for them on 18/8 and got paid on 3/9
But, a phone job done two days earlier was not paid until 17/9

Check again in 30 days and it should be gone, "soft" checks still leave a trace but should disappear quite quickly, if not get on to the bank.

Checked with Experian and Equifax direct, and these are unfortunately full credit checks, and not the "soft identity checks" TNS promised

I had this problem with an ESA bank last year. To this day the search of my credit file still remains. For that reason I no longer do any of these jobs which require credit checks as I no longer have any condfidence that the search will be removed or is a so called 'soft check'.

Well at we are at the time of year Where an abundance of merchandising happens in the run up to the C word, for those that like merchandising of course.

and when people drop them at the last minute
they come begging with nice bonuses to get them done...

Thank you! I spoke to the bank, and they have said TNS should never have said these were going to be soft checks, and have offered me a high three figure compensation amount!

Some allocators will tell you anything to get you to do a job!

I just noticed that the Pizza jobs are flying off the board...Am I missing something? Has there been a fee attached them that I can't see?!?

Is anyone else having issues with Bare payments being down? I can't decide whether my bank are taking an extra fee for international payments or whether Bare are paying the wrong amount.
