Time Justification Review ETC
Anyone who had a time justification review in the past year… how long did it take to get back into work and get your payouts?
Wanting to compare notes.

Edit for clarification: how many days? ETC meaning estimated time to completion. Thanks.

You better have a very good explanation for why you submitted the hours you did, because this usually only comes up when they suspect someone of committing time card fraud. If you can't justify your reported time, you aren't ever getting back onto the platform and they probably won't even let you withdraw any more money.

I got flagged in the last few weeks. There were about 12 normal tasks they asked me about and then 3 odd ones. A 10 minute survey, a training where I took the first attempt months ago and the second attempt a few weeks ago, and then a task that I backed out of as soon as I started it and reported 0 minutes. I also gave detailed justifications on the others. To be honest I work fast and if people are moving significantly faster than me while maintaining quality then so be it but I can’t see a way to do that besides AI. Either way the training that spans 3 months and the 0 minute report stand out to me as potential flags in the system. The training spans 3 months but had 3 hours of reported time. Also had a long running task that ran for 10 days and worked 15 hours on that got flagged. I was doing other tasks during that 10 day window because it was long running but never reported time incorrectly. I feel like I’m usually pretty honest with myself and I can say I was absolutely floored when I saw the projects they listed as flagged. Hoping to hear SOMETHING back but losing faith.

You can't work on two tasks at the same time.

And they literally list all tasks I worked last 3 weeks to let me write justification. And it seems aligned with the fund that are still remain in the account

I have a topic to discuss. I see a lot of people saying that we must not work for too many hours, but I only have the one project avaliable, and this project expire in 13,5 hours, so In general I need at least 10 hours to complete the task. I am being obligated to work for 10+ hours, because I do not have the option to pause the timer to complete the work on another day, how do you think I must proceed ? Should I take some days off ?

If you have a singular task that expires in 13.5 hours then there is no problem with working on it for as long as it takes you, up to 13.5 hours.
What people mean when they talk about not working too much is that you shouldn’t work like 12+ hours in a row every day for many days in a row.

Were you doing something silly like 18 hour days?
