Angry Accuracy????

Locked out of my account and they said my keying accuracy was not good. I have worked for this company for 6 years. I just took the evaluation and got 100%. I don't understand.

Same thing happened here. I was locked out today for low accuracy. I have been with them for 5 years. I received a notice from them about 2 months ago that they were watching my account, so therefore I have extra careful, although I did have a bad day about 1 week ago. I have made over $100 per week for the last month, and you couldn't do that if you had bad accuracy. And., I was averaging about 4-5 dollars per hour doing that!

I went back in and took the accuracy test and I also scored 100%. I just don't understand why they fired me. I have been doing data entry for over 20 years and always been very good at it. This was a very important job to me, and now I don't know what I will do to fill my days. Data entry was not just a job to me, it was like my hobby.

Default Same here

I also got locked out of my account today. I never received the warning letter. KFC expects a lot for nothing!

They just hired me (like I was new). Using the same e-mail account and password I had before. I never received a notice either. Sunshine don't give up. It took them an hour before I got hired back.

I've been with them for 3 years and just received an email regarding my accuracy too. How long will my account be under review?? Yikes!

I was also locked out today due to low accuracy. (I checked my accuracy about a week ago and I was averaging around 99.3%. This am I typed for about 1 1/2 I had around 23,000 keystrokes and I had 61 unconfirmed.) This does not seem like low accuracy to me. I took the evaluation exam again and within an hour I was rehired. @hearingaidlady, I was also hired like I was brand new with same email and password. Very strange that we were all let go around the same time. I never received a warning email either. I have many eggs in my basket and key for cash is my least favorite. After today I may be giving up on it completely.

I have been a keyer for at least 4 years now too and got the email for accuracy today as well. I have not been locked out...Y E T.

I can't believe it, really. I think someone at keyforcash is auto-sending these emails based on overall number of incorrect snippets and not looking at them as a percentage of the total keyed. I always make payout and key fast and accurately. But I do key a lot, so will have more incorrect than someone who does not key a lot. Someone at keyforcash does not understand data entry (and it isn't me!)

The only other thing I can figure is that they are TRYING to get rid of the seasoned keyers because we DO make pay out each week. After all, if they hire a lot of people who get the work done but don't reach pay out they keep their money longer vs. fewer people who do a lot of work and make pay out. Spread the work thin over a lot of people who won't require payment each week and you keep the interest on your money in your own bank.

This is pretty much the last straw for me - I have been through multiple downgrades in pay, in my 4+ years accuracy has never been a problem and now this.....no thanks, just one short hair shy of a scam right now.

Wow, this is scary. I have been with KFC since March and I generally make payout and when I don't, I more than make up for it the following week. I key fast and accurate but if they start treating me like they have you guys, I will definitely not like it one bit. You guys deserve better than that. And what's up with them hiring you back, hearingaidlady? They should never have let you go. Seems odd ... wonder what game they are playing???

Just FWIW, I also took the test again and got 100 percent. So what is this 'accuracy" nonsense? It is baloney.
