Need Advice..New Traveler

I was wanting to know what you all think of Readylink. why I should or shoudn't take an assignment from them. I'm new to traveling and was wanting to get a feel for them. I've talked with other companies, but so far I leaning towards Ready. However, before I do, I want to see what others thought. Thanks for your help!

Stay far far far far away from Ready Link.. They don't pay according to IRS rules and every one knows the IRS rules...


Just ask them to tell you what your hourly pay will be. If you get a straight answer get back to us....

Readylink is not a company I would recommend.

WHAAAAAATTT!!!!??? Thanks Wandering. I think I will give them a call back and see what's going on. I really, really liked this company compared to what I was hearing from other places. I don't know, I just felt comfortable with them. But, I'm going to give them a call and ask them about their IRS issues and speak to an accountant as well. Once again THANKS Wandering!!

Just ask them to tell you your hourly rate.... Not how much you'll bring home per shift..First of all they don't even know your tax situation so they can't give you that figure...

Re: Need Advice..New Traveler

Well, I called ReadyLink back. I didn't ask them how much I would get paid by the hour. I figured that on my own. Simple Mathematics. If my memory serves me correctly it's about 35.00 or so, I think. I just don't see how they aren't paying according to IRS guidelines. If they weren't don't you think the IRS would have already came down on them? How did you come to the conclusion that they don't pay according to IRS guidelines? Give me some bullets so that I may load up on and be able to fire off as I ask them more questions. Thanks in advance Wandering!!

Re: Need Advice..New Traveler

You only think you figured it out..That's their MO.. See they won't be paying ANY income tax on the money they GIVE you.. So now figure it out again.LOLL


Ya know you don't have to believe us seasoned nurses, ya know those who eat their young, who typed that on MY computer???? Maybe you should leave just like a teenager you know,, while you still know everything..

Now go back and do as you were told.. The reason they won't tell you what you are making per hour is because the telephone company sued them for broken phones...i.e. people dropping them as they fainted.....

As for the IRS I bet you play the ponies too right???? It's just a matter of time if they haven't been already.. I don't follow the losers.. And if you are so confident in them why are you so hesitant? Inquiring minds wanna know.. You aren't doing just a LITTLE PR here are you?? A wolf in ReadyLink clothing????

Re: Need Advice..New Traveler

I really don't like their marketing tactics. VERY shady, in my opinion. They sign up affiliates and don't restrict them so they end up spamming every website and mailing list there is. EACH one of them does this every time they sign up, and readylink makes no attempt to stop it. In fact, I believe they encourage it.

That is why I do not recommend them.
