    Not doing anymore shops! :mad:

    I spent at least 3 hours all in, printing, reading about a job, travelling (not to mention petrol), time spent in location, money spent in location, time spent filling in report and sending it etc........

    I got less than £4!

    So not worth my time or efforts!
    I'd be better off doing an hour or 2's work like a paper round or cleaning and be done with it - and at least they'll deal with the tax issue.
    I truely feel ripped off!

    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".

    Can anyone please clarify something for me? With Optimum Contact, is the due date the actual date the job must be done - or just the last possible date? I'm assuming it's the last date as I think I read that somewhere, but I've got myself so confused reading all the different MS company websites, and I can't find that specific answer.

    Thanks

    I can understand this age restriction as it is for a hobby activity played mainly by the specified age group and males so obviously they need to get this age group to make it realistic.

    They have now outsourced this job and the outsource company posted on here:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Surely that is just being lazy of them

    If a shop said you would get paid "£*.** including all expenses incurred undertaking the assessment" would this be £*.** plus any expenses incurred OR £*.** and any expenses would come out of this fee???

    Hi, personally I would say the £xxx includes all expenses you would use. So your expenses are coming out of that fee.

    Yes that means you will £xx and that should cover all your costs as they are not giving you anymore ;)

    Thought as much - and there's no way I'm buying food and drink out of the fee as the questionnaire is quite detailed as well and will take quite a while to complete!!!
