Bonuses Without Asking...

September 01, 2012 01:05AM
...and at the very beginning of a new month?

I asked to perform two shops outside my usual territory but I was not allowed to self-assign. After e-mailing the scheduler, she assigned both of them to me for this weekend. And she gave me an extra $5.00 bonus each without an explanation.

I don't think these are "leftover" jobs from August and there was no bonus listed in the shop posting.

I am not going to argue the fact but has this ever happened to anyone else? Received a bonus (or in my case, two bonuses) without even asking?

I had a scheduler ask me to go to a location but it was 50 miles away...

I said, "It's pretty far, it's like 50 miles away and I"-----She interupted and said, "I'll give you fourty dollars bonus..smiling smiley.

I had an apt shop to do and they offered a bonus of $10 due to a 40 mile distance from my home without me asking for it. I actually do the shop next week.

I once got a call from an MSC asking me if I could do a QS shop for them, and they would pay me a $20 bonus to so it. After a few seconds I said .. okay why not. So an hour late I got up, walked next door, and did the shop.

My first shop with MCP... I finished it up and they emailed me telling me that I did such a good job that they were tacking on a bonus. I couldn't believe it! Same shop, a few days later, they realized they left a question off the form. They emailed me asking me to do it, and attached more money to the shop fee to cover the extra work. I have been their biggest fan ever since!

I've never worked for a company that tacks on a bonus for doing a great job on a shop after one has been done, and I don't know of any that do.. The rewards I get are getting phone calls to do future shops, and them offering me bonuses on those shops prior to doing them.I'm going to sign up with this company tonight and see if I can get some shops done with them. I'm curious as to whether or not this can happen.
