Had to complain to PA earlier about a study "Why do we sea what we see?" which had an average completion time of 35 minutes, £3.00 total payout, listed at £5.15 per hour

In the study it told me I would do two things, ended up having to do three, which took me right up to the maximum allowed time of an hour, so actually worked out at £3 per hour

Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder about PA; they are very hard on participants. Look how many people have posted on here about their accounts being blocked because they dared to do a study while on holiday yet they seem able to do whatever they like, including bending/breaking their own rules. Why have them in the first place if they are not going to abide by them, let alone require researchers to do so?

And what is the deal with the Clothing Study bonus? The researcher has emailed to say they sent it yesterday so why are PA hanging on to it?

Yeah but it was 4 hours + so £4.50 per hour max... I don't see the point of PA making "recommendations" if researchers are free to pay whatever they like. They might as well just take that bit out of their blurb.

ETA: Where the **** is our £6?

Oh that's makes it a bit pants then, I remember the days we used to get a bonus if it paid under the £5ph mark which made it a bit sweeter. Now we can't even get the bonuses we are promised!

Indeed Tina where's me six quid?!

It is not Tina's fault (unless she is telling porkies which I doubt; she sounds too annoyed in her email) She said she sent it within 4 hours of paying us for part 8 yesterday, so over 24 hours ago now. PA is the problem, as far as I can make out. Perhaps if someone else emailed them as well...

Perhaps PA are having a team night out on it

Gosh darn it all to heck, MLE007, are you perchance channelling that mikep when he is in Smodlet wind-up mode? It simply won't do, I tell you! Now, then!

Tomorrow is pay out day unless they have all absconded. You could probably have a high old time on £6 where they're from. I wants m' sick squid! :mad:
