MF CPI Payment Amount

May 26, 2013 03:41PM
I know this has been discussed before as I have put my feedback on it but lately I have had to email the help desk SEVERAL times to change what my CPI says. I'll agree upon the assignment for x amount and when I get my CPI the x amount is less by anywhere from $2-$17. I wait a couple hours for them to adjust it if it needs to be. It used to always be done before I was ready to do the shop. I have had to contact them for over half my jobs lately. Is this a new trend?

They do, however, fix it pretty quickly and send me an email to let me know so I am thankful it hasn't been too much of a hassle. Just wondering if others are having the same problem?

I sort of feel bad bugging them for $2 but that's $2 that might make or break my decision to do a shop. smiling smiley

That is the one thing I can say about their overseas schedulers, whenever I've been promised a bonus, it's been there.

Market Force has always paid me bonuses they promised (I make sure by checking my CPI) and if it weren't there, I would be on the phone.

I can't say it won't ever happen (to me) that some scheduler won't follow through with my bonus but I do get her/him to repeat it 3 times... that I get that bonus AND I take their name.

I had a very hefty bonus and I made sure I got all my dollars! smiling smiley

When I was eager to see the CPI bonus right away it would not always be there but if I checked back after a few it was changed. Same happens to me on both MFI sites, I think it's because the jobs are still public and they need to pull then quickly and make corrections later. I have never had issues getting the agreed amount.

Uhhh, why do you "feel bad" about having the CPI corrected? You should feel po'ed that you have to take your time to have the correction made after you agreed to a specific rate. Time is money. Believe me, they would not feel bad at all if you had overlooked it and they got to pay you less.
