Why are you only getting 50%? What do you think your job is? You are to adjust the loss from cradle to grave. You investigate the loss and settle the claim. For this you should recieve 65%. If you are not willing or able to settle the claim then you should only expect 50%. Who do you think is settling the claim?
Know before you go is good advice. Know who you are working for and what they expect or stay home.

Yeah, Swink....what happened to your profile?  We had an entertaining chat last nite, but I wanted to send a PM & couldn't. Your last question to me I couldn't answer for obvious reasons.   

I have no idea what happened to my profile. It used to be overloaded

I am more curious about the guy that tried to lecture me

Obviously he must know me.

But in reply to his cradel to grave ......fine yeah whatever .. no DUH  and all that
I specifically asked about mailing estimates at my first storm meeting and got a different answer . and to find out this far in that is required that the adjusters go back and mail the estimate doesn't sit well with me.

I hope that after all the claims are closed, all the paychecks hace cleared, we all come back and post comments about the vendors and the insane things these carriers have ask us all to do. I decided to work in KY instead of TX. My wife wanted me to stay a little closer to home and work in her home town. As one of the adjuster/lawyers of this bunch, I have seen things on this trip that have gone beyond insane. These carriers ignore state insurance regs and the insureds be dammed. It's my understanding you guys and gals in TX are running into some of the same. When you are ordered to ignore and refuse to pay for covered damage, then it's time to leave.

I look forward to the sharing of the insanity stories when the paychecks clear the bank.

I really have no complaints with the claims I have

I just find it disturbing that something like this can come after I have been here 3 weeks, I feel for the guys that have been here since day 1. It just makes you wonder what else will change? Payday? pay percents% Have our other instructions been correct?

and keep in mind I had a face to face with the storm manager when I showed up and asked Specifically about this , then sat through "2" adjuster meetings in One week with well over 100 adjusters, and this was never mentioned.

So yeah I had a rant , and if it happens in the future, I am sure I will react the same.

I know the feeling.  When we started with the IA we are working for ( Starting with Gustav in September and now Ike) we were told we would receive $2 per photo plus $.65 mileage after first 30 miles.  Received email from them last week saying they are keeping $1 per photo because it takes up space on their servers and they are arguing about mileage.  Also wanting us t send estimates to the insureds, proof of loss claims and a bunch of other stuff at our time and expense.  And to add insult toinjury, have yet to receive a paycheck from them, even for the Gustav claims in September.  Seems like every other day they are changing the rules - to their benefit, not ours.

Has all the earmarks of a guy from Bradenton, FL.

If it is, better toss all the files into the drink, file a lien on every property, hire a good attorney, or call in some heavy hitters.

And BTW, do you have a signed contract? If not, UR in deep do do.
