The last time I checked, and granted that was a while ago, because as of yet, I don't see me spending the out of pocket to get the background and drug test done, although.... they are now doing some of these from the quicker paying company so.. I was half way considering looking into it. Anyway, I got off topic on my own topic.. :cough: Last time I checked, the background report and drug test were fully reimbursable upon successful completion/approval of your first shop. So, in theory you get that back, but it does seem to be a lot of work for that amount of money. I mean, I was wondering how long this audit actually is.. I'm just not standing for 8+ hours for this, but if it were done in 5 hours, I'd potentially consider it. The problem is, there's just no telling and I don't always have faith that an MSC will post the honest truth about how long something takes. I've had too many experiences where they like to tell you the MINIMUM time it will take the FASTEST shopper, not the average time it takes MOST shoppers.
Oh, do this $10 audit job in under 30 minutes - price check/update 50 items. Well, first, it's more than 50. It's like 53. That's not a big deal, but.. I'm being nitpicky. It takes more than an hour. Or trying to plan a route with shops based on how long they're supposed to take but nope, they take THREE times as long and now your route which was supposed to be five hours, is now 15.
Yeah, I just haven't bit that bullet yet for these, but they've been popping up for years. I'd consider it if it were a little higher, or I knew the time didn't take eight hours. It'd be a nice bit of money for a once a month gig.
