Sentry Question

January 28, 2025 04:16AM
I have an upcoming assignment with Sentry. It is at a casual dining restaurant. It was offered with a bonus on top of the normal pay rate. However, after being assigned the shop, the pay rate shows as the normal rate and the bonus is tacked on to the reimbursable amount. I inquired about this and was told that it's a GigSpot issue and was assured that in their system it shows as a bonus on top of the normal pay rate. Has anyone else ran into this issue? I mean on the one hand I'm not super comfortable moving forward with the shop because it doesn't show the correct pay. And I'm half expecting to encounter a payment issue that I'll have to spend time solving. But on the other hand I have documentation that assures me I will receive the correct pay. How would you proceed? Hoping someone else has encountered this with Sentry...

You'll be paid correctly. This exact situation happened to me and I got my bonus as promised. It will take about 8 weeks to get paid, though, just so you aren't surprised.

Jancyn bonuses appear the same way on Gigspot. As the other person commented, it’ll be a while before you see any payment (months not weeks).

I got out of Gigspot as quickly as I could after I saw that I couldn't sign into Alta360 anymore without them. I'll never make that mistake again. And it's NOT easy, you have to fight, and email and make phone calls.. I'm far more careful about joining clearinghouse websites like that now. Thankfully ISS and Presto aren't as awful.

Thanks for the responses. I feel much better about moving forward with the assignment now.

I signed out of Gigspot. Now I cannot get email notifications. I tried to set hem on the MSC Shopmetrics site, but it won't take. Even tried to get the MSC help, to no avail.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.
