Payments in October/Invoices for work in September and before mega thread

8 Upvotes

This is the post for all invoice/payment questions for payment of work in September(and before).

Reminder: Workers have a reasonable expectation that Appen should ensure amounts owed for September work start appearing on the website in the first week of October, with payment mid-month. Payments are supposed to be for all work up to the end of September. But as many of us still remember, Appen has a history of letting deadlines slip so this thread is to keep an eye on this as the month progresses.

Some users continue to report not receiving payment until after the 21st of the month. Let's keep an eye on this. We need to be paid mid-month and Appen should honour this.

Appen has a history of attempting to "move the goalposts" in messaging, for example by pushing the message that they "initiate payments" mid month, whereas previously many of us were used to money arriving in our accounts mid-month and now it appears to be regularly delayed, increasing anxiety for workers. Let's keep an eye on this too.

Post questions and updates here.

Post rules:

1. Say which country you're working in, and payment method if relevant; payment methods and costs vary by country, and it's cool to know that we're all from different parts of the world and not one place! If you don't include your country, the comment will be removed.
2. Stay on topic, this is about payments and payment experiences. Keep the meta drama llama off this thread.
3. Please only contribute your own experiences or verifiable facts. No vague claims about other people's experiences or what is being said elsewhere.
4. If you've never contributed here before or have low karma, please familiarise yourself with the subreddit. Questions are welcome but responses are preferred from long-term users. Remember you may claim years of experience with Appen but it's not possible to verify this if you've never commented here before, so suspicious comments from new users will be removed!
5. Be excellent to one another. Remember the human.

There's a lot of unhappiness from those working on Origami, so here is a megathread to discuss all things Origami. Please note special rules are in place.

Because a lot of people are coming to the subreddit to discuss this with new accounts and from experience when issues occur, scammers can target vulnerable users. Please be wary of any DM requests or approaches by people offering to "help" you. See the subreddit notice about common scams here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CrowdGen/comments/1ikabl3/warning_scams_and_good_internet_habits/

if you're looking for information on possible remedies, the sub has a page giving some suggestions here (note this is not legal advice, just past suggestions from the community): https://www.reddit.com/r/CrowdGen/wiki/takingaction/

Reminder of rules for the thread:

  1. Only use one account to contribute to this subreddit. Anyone detected using multiple accounts ("sockpuppets") will be banned.

  2. New accounts with zero karma please check the subreddit and familiarise yourself with previous issues before commenting and read the subreddit rules. Misleading information provided by low karma accounts may be removed.

  3. Remember Reddit might restrict comments for new accounts and it might take a little time for comments to be approved. Be patient and don't comment multiple times.

  4. Anything related to standard invoices or payments should be discussed on the payments thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CrowdGen/comments/1w7y7cu/payments_in_septemberinvoices_for_work_in_august/

Applied for Poliwag- India.

Got an invitation to join Microsoft Teams on behalf of Appen.

I now have realized that my microsoft account is a personal account, so I don't see any community or anything.

Tried multiple ways from incognito, from the desktop app, from multiple browsers. I still can't get access to the community.

Help me out please.

Mewtwo - Data Collection: is 85 tasks a minimum or a cap?

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m currently working on the “Mewtwo - Data Collection” project. The guidelines say we need to complete 85 tasks, but they don’t say if that’s the minimum to get paid or the maximum we can do. Can we do more than 85? Has anyone figured this out?

Thanks in advance! From France

Hello everyone, so I'm new to CrowdGen and I've just created my new account for the hope to get into some projects, however I was surprised to see that there are no available projects for me and I have this message displayed: "Thank you for interested in CrowdGen projects At the moment, there are no projects available for you. Please keep in mind that projects will appear here based off of project needs and eligibility criteria in your profile. Changes in project needs are updated frequently, so please be sure to check back later. If you have any questions, please visit the FAQ for more information.", is this normal? is there any chance to get new projects in the next few hours or days? Thank you

Project Ori**** project

20 Upvotes

So have you noticed that as the new batches are coming, the in-built Al suggestion tool in the Maven goes harder and harder.

Literally, they want everything to be included in 3 minutes.

And as I did 5 tasks in Ori*** batch 4, I encountered these suggestions in every task.

And then these suggestions increased the AHT by 5 minutes, so here we worked for 2 minutes extra for free for the whole task.

We are now slaves.

I currently have two projects that require login credentials to get started. Both state that the login details will be sent to me via email.

However, it's been weeks, and I still haven't received anything. Is this a common issue with CrowdGen? How long do people usually wait? I'm from Portugal.

Come posso contattare il team di Lupin Project

2 Upvotes

(Italia) Nella pagine con vari info sul progetto, c'è anche Team channel, ma non ci sono mai riuscita ad aprirlo. Io avrei veramente bisogno di contattare il Team, visto che sto lavorando con una lingua, mentre dopo aver ricevuto invito per collaborare anche con altra lingua, mi hanno fatto letteralmente fallire il test di trascrizione, perché ho contato 5 errori inesistenti, (tre con le risposte identiche a quelle "corrette"). Il ticket non ha dato alcun risultato, ho ricevuto una risposta standard, che non è possibile ripetere il test. Ma non voglio arrendermi, è allucinante. Ed è anche negli interessi di CrowdGen di migliorare gli strumenti. Grazie!
