I've signed with about thirty agencies. The moment I filled out the application and checked the agree box, I was able to shop. The only time there has been a delay was when they needed to verify my SSN.
These companies do not pay minimum wage. Some jobs pay nothing. Others average about $2/hour before taxes. They are not subject to laws about safety. They do not pay social security, provide sick pay, etc. They often do not pay. They ask you to commit illegal actions. And during this health crisis, they are advertising for people to visit Senior Living Centers, and to take a minor along to a public place.
There are multiple corporations that we deal with at the same time, so we don't know who we are really dealing with.

It depends on the work. Does this apply to the drug dealer finding people to sell product? Does it apply to a contractor that ignores all safety regulations? Does being an employer mean there are no obligations to society or employees?

Encouraging people to violate Emergency Regulations is against the law.
You are welcome to believe that morality and ethics should have no place in decision making. I cannot argue with your beliefs that one should or can do anything as long as it is not illegal.
My own beliefs are that morality and ethics are important. Laws are to be developed using morality and ethics, so I fail to understand your viewpoint.
With this fundamental difference in belief, further discussion is a waste of time. Others can choose to make their choice and review the arguments we have offered based upon an understanding that they either come from principals that ethics and morality are important or are are unimportant in any decisions.
If you feel like this why do you even mystery shop??? You determine your fee, NOT the MSP! If the job pays less than you want to be paid you ignore the job, simple as that!@wauserfriendly wrote:

Failing to understand how that offer of work affects scared and desperate people is why we disagree...
