Mercor is accepting and shipping our work, but cutting logged hours after the fact. We are organizing a response.
Hey everyone,
I wanted to see if other contractors on here are running into a frustrating issue with pay adjustments.
Basically, I logged hours and completed tasks that were fully approved, graded top tier, and actually sent to the client. But later on, I noticed hundreds of dollars were quietly shaved off my payout.
When I asked about it, support told me that even though the work was valuable and approved, they only pay based on what they decide counts as active time. They claimed a couple of my hours did not reflect active work and said their decision was final. When I asked them to show me any evidence or data backing up that claim, they completely ghosted my emails.
It feels like a bad setup where they take the work and use it, but then retroactively dock your hours using a black box review process with zero transparency.
Because of this, I have already spoken with attorneys at **Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP**, a top-tier plaintiffs firm known for taking on major tech companies and holding them accountable. They have agreed to look at this on a **contingency fee basis** given the significant interest and the fact that Mercor is sitting on over $500 million in capital.
If this has happened to you where your hours were manually trimmed after your work was accepted and shipped, you don't just have to eat the loss.
Shoot me a DM with a quick summary of what happened so we can aggregate numbers and build a strong collective front.
