These people are crooks - Editor HARRISCO Employee Review

Easy money and quick payments

Some writing can be a bit technical

I’ve been editing for Harrisco as a U.S. based editor for almost four years (with one year off). Early in that time there were certainly some issues with on-time payment for completed assignments – which was the reason for me taking a break. The company CEO continued to communicate periodically by email, promising all backpays would be completed and every month or so, deposits were made to my account in a good faith effort to ‘square the ledger’. The apparently genuine desire to fulfil its obligations, convinced me to resume taking assignments – in particular with a new payment system that didn’t require waiting until the end of the month. Payment now made by Paypal for each individual assignment. Since I re-started (about 18 months ago), all payments have been made strictly on time and furthermore ALL of the backpay was paid. I have heard the company had some difficulties, but that seems to have been resolved. My experience over the last year and a half has been extremely positive and all of my interactions with the company have convinced me, they are highly professional and reputable. Support staff in my case have been great – clear communication with them helps enormously, in terms of issues with how much work you can handle and deadlines. I am a part timer and only have limited number of hours to devote – and they have respected that.

None in my situation. As others have noted it would be good to have a higher payment rate.
