It's the bit where you (attempt) to answer the questions for each job. For GAP you don't "complete the questionnaire" but "express your assignment"...

Thanks I got it. See these Americanisms I hate them. "Express your assignment" indeed. I also hate that the team member said/did/asked ???? Team member...What is wrong with saying salesperson, sales consultant, or plain old member of staff.

Oh I am a grump this morning. I have to go out to do some shops and my eyes and nose are streaming with hay fever.. I don't usually even get it but apparently the west of Scotland cos we have had barely any rain and lots of sunshine the pollen count is the highest for years.

I was contacted a while back by Grassroots because they wanted me to use the term colleague instead of member of staff.... I didn't think calling someone a colleague when you don't work with them was right?!

Anyway I now do it but it looks ridiculous IMO!

This is from their website:

You will be paid on or before the 25th of each month by electronic (BACS) transfer of funds to the account you specified in My Details / Bank Details. The cut off date for completed work to be paid in the month is the 17th.

I've had some odd payments from them on different dates because I whined on the phone to them about being refunded for expensive train tickets. Bet I'm not the only one :rolleyes:

They owe me squillions. I have 6 bingo jobs this week. Cost of the books comes to£63. There next payment date is jobs done by 17th paid on 25th. To be fair they are usually bang on time.
Timmne might know this one. I asked someone why we get told payment by BACS may take 4 - 5 days to clear through the banking system. I was told this is nonsense the bank has your money that day as it is an electronic transfer of funds but that 4 or 5 days the bank ( your bank) play the futures and money markets to make themselves more money.

Bye y'all I am off for a new mobile phone ( again!) I think I now know as much as the mobie shops about them. Another daft scenario of paying up to £40 a month on PAYG so why would you not take a contract and save half that every month. Well ours is not to reason why.:rotfl:

Sadly I know nothing on the clearing system HOWEVER with the recent introduction of "faster payments", anyone (who uses the main banks) who tell you it might take any longer than a few hours is wrong.

It doesn't mean MSing companies will pay us any earlier though sadly; just that they'll send the money to us later and we'll still get it on the same day as usual!

I totally feel for you Hollypear - I am suffering badly with hayfever. I did a load of the hayfever pharmacy jobs so am stocked up with tablets but as I'm trying for a baby and **might** (:D ) be pregnant I can't take any!! Roll on the end of the month and I can check if I am or not, then can have another 2 weeks taking them!

Thanks cranezoe - I have just gone back in and submitted mine now.
