Hi everyone. I've read tons of stories on Alignerr being unpaid for work and removed just before the payment. Well, unfortunately, I still tried to work for them.
I was hired for a project called Vera, VAD, voice activity detection, paid at $80/data row. I passed the evaluation for a $100 bonus, then completed 25 data rows, so that would total to $2,100 in earnings from last week.
This week, the payment should be processed between tomorrow and Friday. I sent them an e-mail asking if I will get paid. It should be processed on Friday at the latest, so we'll see. However, they keep replying that the "decision is final" without giving me any reason as to what I violated. My rating was above average (4.0, the average was 3.5), and most of the reviewers said that I did my work perfectly, which I am confident, as I am a diligent worker.
The support doesn't allow contacting them and provides an automatic response that the "payment will be withheld due to community rules violations". No violations were stated. No contact information is available, the chat does not work, and their information on the homepage that you will get paid after deactivation is not consistent with this.
