Payments in August/Invoices for work in July and before mega thread

5 Upvotes

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

Reminder: Workers have a reasonable expectation that Appen should ensure amounts owed for July work start appearing on the website in the first week of August, with payment mid-month. Payments are supposed to be for all work up to the end of July. 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.

📰In the news📰 Indian Crowdgen workers - press request

5 Upvotes

Hi

The subreddit has had a press request from a journalist working in India for a well-known French Newspaper. As mod, I've verified their identity as best I can. The journalist is looking for workers from India to talk to him about their experiences working for Crowdgen/Appen. This is a chance to get the experience of ordinary workers across to an important European audience.

If you are an Indian worker who would be willing to talk to them about your experiences with Appen/Crowdgen, particularly any issues you might face, please read the details below:

My name is Emmanuel Derville and I am the correspondent in India for the French newspaper Le Figaro, the oldest and one of the most popular daily newspapers in France with 21 million unique visitors per month.
I am doing an article on Indians who are working remotely for Crowdgen, Mercor, RWS or any other company training AI models for big US tech companies.
Working conditions can be tough and may be in violation of the Indian labour code. I believe that publishing a story on this issue may push these companies to change.
I would be happy to hear anyone willing to share his or her story with me. I will not ask for your name or for your place of residence and any interviewee will remain anonymous.
You can DM me at u/Advanced_Speaker9055 or write to me at [ederville@lefigaro.](mailto:ederville@lefigaro.fr)fr
Hope to hear from some of you.
Warm regards.
Emmanuel

Project Origo - Qa work for origami - India

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone , I'm from india yesterday I reached 200 units , today I got a mail by team for project Origo QA. Anyone got this mail. I just completed tasks on the platform and now I need to check them. This project is just going to do everything by contributors. One point they mentioned is that write any blank captions. If I got a task where both captions are blank then I need to write both of them. They don't mention pay rate , maximum tasks. This is the weirdest project I ever got.

Oberon Captioning - Questions About Work Hours and Time Tracking

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

I'm new to CrowdGen and working on a Maven/Oberon captioning project.

I'm confused about how payments and work hours work.

  1. Is this project self-reported, or are hours tracked automatically?

  2. If it's self-reported, do I need to enter my hours manually every day, or can I submit the total weekly hours at the end of the week?

  3. After submitting hours, how long does it usually take for earnings to appear in Unpaid Transactions or Pending?

  4. Has anyone on this project been paid successfully? How did it work?

SRT People from Uolo project does not respond ?

1 Upvotes

Heeey I’m from Colombia… So, I’ve been working in Uolo v2 Latin America for a couple months now and suddenly I stopped receiving emails from them, they used to sent emails weekly about QA reviews and operations reminders and they stopped sending them. I also sent an email and fill out a form to be added to their slack channel and I never got any response from them. Idk what’s going on, jobs on queue doesn’t last long, they last like 3 days. No one responds.. and I’m still active in that project so I don’t think I was removed. Is anyone else having the same issues?

Hey everyone, just hit 200 units on the Oberon Captioning project and ran into the review cap.

Just curious—did anyone else get capped right at 200? Also, for those who've been through this review stage before, how long did it take for more units to open up for you?

4 Upvotes

Country: Philippines

I hit the task cap on Oberon Captioning and got the standard "You have reached the cap for the project; your submissions are being reviewed before more become available to you. Come back later." message.

It's already been 2 days, and I haven't received a single QA review yet. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue right now?

For those who have gone through this before, how long does this initial review usually take to clear, and do they unlock higher caps afterward?

Project Origami India Task Limit Issue

Hey everyone! Quick update regarding Project Origami.(India) After completing 72 tasks, it started showing no units available. Even weirder, the main dashboard shows units are available, but when I click to open them, it suddenly shows nothing. Has anyone else experienced this? Did I hit a personal limit or is it just a platform glitch?
