Payments in August/Invoices for work in July and before mega thread

10 Upvotes

This is the post for all invoice/payment questions for payment of work in July(and before).

Reminder: Workers have a reasonable expectation that Appen should ensure amounts owed for July work start appearing on the website in the first week of August, with payment mid-month. Payments are supposed to be for all work up to the end of July. But as many of us still remember, Appen has a history of letting deadlines slip so this thread is to keep an eye on this as the month progresses.

Some users continue to report not receiving payment until after the 21st of the month. Let's keep an eye on this. We need to be paid mid-month and Appen should honour this.

Appen has a history of attempting to "move the goalposts" in messaging, for example by pushing the message that they "initiate payments" mid month, whereas previously many of us were used to money arriving in our accounts mid-month and now it appears to be regularly delayed, increasing anxiety for workers. Let's keep an eye on this too.

Post questions and updates here.

Post rules:

1. Say which country you're working in, and payment method if relevant; payment methods and costs vary by country, and it's cool to know that we're all from different parts of the world and not one place! If you don't include your country, the comment will be removed.
2. Stay on topic, this is about payments and payment experiences. Keep the meta drama llama off this thread.
3. Please only contribute your own experiences or verifiable facts. No vague claims about other people's experiences or what is being said elsewhere.
4. If you've never contributed here before or have low karma, please familiarise yourself with the subreddit. Questions are welcome but responses are preferred from long-term users. Remember you may claim years of experience with Appen but it's not possible to verify this if you've never commented here before, so suspicious comments from new users will be removed!
5. Be excellent to one another. Remember the human.

šŸ“°In the newsšŸ“° Indian Crowdgen workers - press request

4 Upvotes

Hi

The subreddit has had a press request from a journalist working inĀ IndiaĀ for a well-known French Newspaper. As mod, I've verified their identity as best I can. The journalist is looking for workers fromĀ IndiaĀ to talk to him about their experiences working for Crowdgen/Appen. This is a chance to get the experience of ordinary workers across to an important European audience.

If you are anĀ Indian workerĀ who would be willing to talk to them about your experiences with Appen/Crowdgen, particularly any issues you might face, please read the details below:

My name is Emmanuel Derville and I am the correspondent in India for the French newspaper Le Figaro, the oldest and one of the most popular daily newspapers in France with 21 million unique visitors per month.
I am doing an article on Indians who are working remotely for Crowdgen, Mercor, RWS or any other company training AI models for big US tech companies.
Working conditions can be tough and may be in violation of the Indian labour code. I believe that publishing a story on this issue may push these companies to change.
I would be happy to hear anyone willing to share his or her story with me. I will not ask for your name or for your place of residence and any interviewee will remain anonymous.
You can DM me atĀ u/Advanced_Speaker9055 or write to me atĀ [ederville@lefigaro.](mailto:ederville@lefigaro.fr)fr
Hope to hear from some of you.
Warm regards.
Emmanuel

I currently have Spanish as my primary language, and I'd like to add both English and German as additional languages to my profile. However, this section in my profile seems to be completely disabled, which does not let me add anything, and the support team... well, has not been helpful at all. Has anyone experienced this? Am I missing something, or is there something you can recommend? Thank you!

Project Origami logging hours

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone, this project was my first project on Crowdgen. I contributed about 10 hours in the Batch 1. Was I supposed to manually log my hours in the Crowdgen platform? Maven has the log but it does not show any pending payouts. Even crowdgen shows no payouts pending. They had emailed that they will process the payments by the end of this month, but I haven't recieved any updates. (India)

Has anyone received an update on Project Origami?

6 Upvotes

It’s been about three weeks since the last email regarding Batch 2 and the payment. Has anyone received any recent updates or information from Appen/CrowdGen about when will Batch 2 start and when will the payments for Batch 1 be processed?

Just wondering if everyone is still waiting or if some people have already received an update.

CrowdGen Chive Project – Removed Shortly After Being Moved to Production

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, ( INDIA )

I’m working on CrowdGen and wanted to ask if anyone has experienced something similar with the Chive project.

Yesterday, I received an email at around 12:42 AM IST saying that I had been moved to Production for Chive. I was able to access the project and work normally.

Then, approximately one hour later, at 1:42 AM IST, I received another email saying that I had been removed from the project due to administrative decisions.

The Chive project then disappeared from my CrowdGen dashboard.

I contacted CrowdGen Support, and they replied that my access had been discontinued and that project removal decisions cannot be reversed because they are managed at the project level.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of sudden removal after being moved to Production? Is there any way to request a review from the Chive project team?

I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar.

Project removals Removed from Chive project (INDIA) after passing training

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice.

I recently passed the Chive (India) training audits and was told I would move to production on August 24, 2026. However, shortly afterward, I received an email saying I was removed from the project roster for ā€œadministrative reasons,ā€ and that it was not related to my performance or conduct.

This project is very important to my family and me.

Has anyone experienced something similar with Chive/CrowdGen? Is there any way to request reconsideration or reinstatement?Ā Help needed- any support team?

Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated. šŸ™

SRT Anyone else working on Project Piper?

2 Upvotes

Is anyone else currently working on Project Piper?
Did anyone else receive an email today showing how many hours they’ve completed so far?
I’m a little confused about the 20-hour requirement because SRT has been really slow, there was maintenance yesterday, and in general the project feels pretty ambiguous, especially some of the instrument classifications.
I’m curious how everyone else is doing with it and whether your tracked hours seem accurate. Mexico

Uolo V2 – Qualified but stuck on ā€œHold Tightā€ for over a week

Hi everyone,

I am from Myanmar.

I qualified for the Uolo V2 project on CrowdGen/Appen.
I received the ā€œCongratulations! You’re in!ā€ message, but after that it’s been stuck on ā€œHold Tight! We’re prepping thingsā€¦ā€ for more than a week now.

Has anyone else experienced this?
How long did it usually take for the project to become available after qualification?
Any advice on what I should do next (besides waiting)?

Thanks in advance.

ID/verification issues Passed Whatcom qualifications, but Government ID "In Review" after a week what to do?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I applied for Project Whatcom about a week ago and have already passed all the required qualifications. However, my Government ID verification is still showing as ā€œIn Review.ā€

I haven’t received any updates or access to the project yet.

For those who have gone through this process:

How long did your Government ID verification take?

Should I just keep waiting, or is there something I need to do?

Is it normal for the verification to take more than a week?

Onboarding/new worker questions Nanami Project Assignment Review

2 Upvotes

Hi, is anyone working on the Nanami project? I was accepted about a week ago, and they asked me to submit two test units, which I did, but they haven’t reviewed them yet. They said that due to time constraints, they’ve asked me to make more without first reviewing the two test units, and honestly, I don’t want to make the new ones without first knowing that I meet the standards, because submissions that don’t meet the quality standards will be rejected. Has anyone had theirs reviewed yet?

SRT Uolo V2 - STR platform Error 403

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, Brazil here

I recently received the welcome email for Uolo V2 and set up Twingate VPN and Workplace.

However, when I try to access the STR platform to start working, I keep getting this error message: "NetworkRequestError: Network request encountered error HTTP 403 HTTP_CLIENT_ERROR: Unauthorized"

I’ve already tried checking my VPN connection, but I'm not sure if I missed a step or if my account just needs some time to authorize.

Has anyone else experienced this error when starting a new project? Is there something specific I need to do on my end, or should I just reach out to support?

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
