How to read this page

The ten things above are not our idea of what matters. They are what the checklists in twenty hand-written articles on this site already asked, counted up: country and eligibility came first in nineteen of them, waiting time and what you are paid in came next. The payout minimum, the number most people search for, barely appeared. It is one row here, not the headline.

A row marked not publishedmeans we opened the company's own pages looking for it and it was not there. That is a finding, and it is dated. A row marked not checked yet means we have not done the work. Those two are kept apart on purpose: an empty box because we were slow should never look like an empty box because they were quiet.

Found something that has moved? Tell us. It gets checked against the source and the change is dated on the corrections page.
