Rev Must Pay ICs for Work Done
Rev.com needs to revisit their recently changed policy that allows them to not pay independent contractors if they deem the job unusable. This is ambiguous and is detrimental to the independent contractors. I spent several hours over two days on a job that involved a college lecture in a foreign country, with a prof with an accent who frequently was out of range of the recording equipment. Because I could not HEAR a lot of what the prof was saying, the job was declined, i was NOT paid the nearly $50 I earned, and my account was deactivated. Also Rev needs to revisit their policy on not informing clients when Rev is informed that the job has been submitted inaccurately. Another job for which I was NOT paid involved a 5 minute presentation followed by 50 MINUTES of indistinct, unrelated chatter that the AI could not transcribe (and I'm sure the client did NOT want to pay for). The IC was expected to struggle to transcribe AND CAPTION nonsense, which would be impossible to do well, thus leading, again, to NO PAY and deactivation of account.
