Docking your pay for ....

sending a report to QA is just an excuse to rob you of the money you earned. The crooks that do this should tell you before hiring what their policy is. Did you sign a contract? What does it say about that?

That was a while ago and they stopped docking pay.

Docking for error..
I'm trying to remember what it was when I was there. I believe for 98% or lower, it is 5% of your check and up to 10% for 97% and below but this could have changed. I am glad to see that they have added some US QA editors. When I was there, I was only QA'd by Indian QA and that did not make me feel real comfortable since my check was going to be based on them QA-ing my work. Once I was docked 10% and that hurt but it was like losing a whole day of pay. Again, it sounds like they are really turning things around so best wishes if you opt to go with them.

Docking for blanks
Encourages guessing....totally wrong. This is a policy adopted by people who have never done the job.

Docking pay for errors is a very good idea, IMO. SM
Everyone is motivated by money. It may be the only way to impress upon MTs how important quality is and make them pay attention to the feedback they get and implement the changes necessary.

Docking for errors should never happen! A certain Pennsylvania company does it, too. nm
