Just logged in to Appen - no new work unfortunately :confused: BUT I have noticed that the Raven Project Work Page tile now has 'Timesheet' icon on it and clicking on it takes you to the Time Report page.

Does that mean they are now expecting us to fill it in? What happens if we - ME - don't know the EXACT times to put in? I would ask them but it takes ages for a response, especially with the weekend approaching.

Thanks.

Did anyone receive an email today confirming they are on the scenario based testing task and to acknowledge the statement of work document? The document doesn't appear to exist on my login page. I have emailed them as they want the project finished by Monday!!

For anyone that did the Raven Search task - when you login does it still say Pending Review? I sent Appen an email to check I had done the work correctly as my times have yet to be marked as "paid" and I got a generic reply - "this task has now finished, etc" .....
Thanks

Hi Coral,
I got the same ''pending review'' status. But if you worked on the 30th of November, you are supposed to get paid by now (as i received my payment yesterday). For other working days in December, nothing has been updated except for the hours (if any) you worked on crowdflower and reported time by yourself. I guess we have to wait (for how long i don't know).

Just had a response to my email asking them about submitting time reports for the Raven task. Apparently, as long as it has been submitted successfully? there should be no need to fill in time reports for this as the tool should have done this automatically.
It will not be showing on the report yet as still being checked/processed. Payment for this should be in January.
We just had to submit time reports for the Crowdflower task.

So, hopefully should be okay. Will keep you informed if this changes, I hear anything etc.

Has anyone else received an email invite today for an Appen english speech project to start on the 18th December until the end of January 2018?

I have just submitted a form for my interest - though the shortest hours I could agree to was 15-20 hours per week. You can do up to 30 hours per week though.

Hi @Knopfler i just got this too. I can’t do any more than 10 hrs so they probably won’t be interested!

Did you accept the invite then @Lizziew24 ? The minimum hours that I could agree to on the form was 15-20, which I ticked.

I have had an availability form today for the Blue UK transcription project. I can't work out if this is the same project or a different one as it says it is for 2-4 weeks work. The hours were slightly different (10-20 hours) too. I think they were both called 'Blue' which doesn't help!

It also asked if I was currently doing any other Appen work (I'm not but might be if I get the first task, if it IS different), so if you are currently doing the Leapforce/Appen tasks you might not be eligible?

Why does Appen have to be so confusing .....................

Incidentally I never heard back from the 0365 Scenario Based Study?

Hi, @ktkt and @desnog . Hope you do hear something soon, or get invited to other tasks. It is so frustrating, trying to get work with them all.

I got an email asking for confirmation of the Crowdflower task today, if that is the email you are both referring to.

I accepted what I assume is the second one as it gave the option of under 10 hours. What do we do now...? Wait for a response??

Yes, I suppose we play the waiting game, yet again, sigh.
The first one I got was supposed to start week commencing the 18th Dec so I guess I might be unlucky with that one.
This second one I had to submit the form by the 21st Dec, so fingers crossed for us :)

IF I got the option for both (and can obviously only do one of them), I hope I get to see what the work involves before I make my choice.

At the end of the day, I'll be happy to finally get one of them at least, ha ha.

Can you apply for them @Lizziew24 if you are currently doing the Leapforce/Appen task?

I too got the 'Blue' email. Fingers crossed - could really do with a bit more cash coming in the new year!
