It does not seem I ever get paid. There is no section that says "paid" with a date.

Made me conduct 2 audits back to back…

Made me conduct 2 audits back to back and excluded both despite conducting visit in pouring rain and completing the audit. Payment given less than 50% for filmsy reasons. Have conducted many audits rating is 9 always but their high-handedness and attitude is seriously a question mark. Oh ofcourse Saturday Sunday they are not available.

Beware!

After not working for this company for a few years, I thought things might have changed, however I am being cheated out of payment.

I was assigned a visit, whereby I had to arrange an appointment before visiting. I made 6 calls to arrange the appointment, but the agent did not answer.

I was persuaded to make more calls to arrange an appointment. No where in the brief does it specify payment would not be made if an appointment cannot be arranged. It only says payment would be withheld if you do not contact them after 3 failed attempts, and I did contact them and I was provided with a new number to call

Now they are refusing to pay. Why are they going against the contract? There was no mention of payment not being made if a visit could not be made. They did not even stipulate payment would be halved if a visit could not be arranged. Instead they kept making me make calls. This is a blatant breach of contract. I fulfilled my obligations of the contract and I am rightfully due payment, yet this dishonest company are trying to scam me out of money I am due. Beware!!

Don’t pay and never answer but they…

Don’t pay and never answer but they want you to make everything in the 24 hours or less.

It’s been more than 3 months

Tried to contact my manager and she never responded any messages.

Don’t do it. It’s not worth it.

I never had problems with payments or my field supervisor.

Said that, we are penalized by the evaluators for issues beyond our control during the work we realized being paid 50% of the agreed fee. Not right and not fair.

New review

I had previously written a poor review as I had not received payment for two jobs I had completed. After several emails back and forth I have now received both of the payment I was due. I have retracted the previous review and written this one

Don’t pay you

I have done a few mystery food visits for BARE in September and was told I get paid at the end of the following month. 2 months later I have not been paid and no one is replying to my emails.

Very disappointed in how unprofessional it has been with pay considering I helped out on shops with less than a day notice.
