1.2. Where is my invitation?
Once you receive notice of your eligibility and shift preference, you are ready to receive invitations to a project assignment (Step 8 of the Training Process).
Note: If you have not added “mystaffingpro.com” to your safe senders list you may miss invitations to future work assignments.
Invitations to accept or decline a specific project assignment will typically be issued 2 to 4 weeks before the project requires Readers. Limited positions are available in January and February.
All invitations to projects come with a corresponding questionnaire that includes the option of accepting or declining the assignment based on the project requirements outlined in the job description. We encourage you to bookmark or print the job description of each project assignment you are offered so you complete the corresponding questionnaire appropriately.
Please note: Positions are offered first to Returning Readers with solid accuracy and production statistics. Measurement Incorporated cannot guarantee that all available Readers will be offered a project assignment, but we do encourage you to check your email periodically as the scope of our projects and the demand for work can change.
1.3. What happens if I decline my invitation?
If you decline the offered invitation, you may not receive another job offer as a Remote Reader during that scoring season. This is particularly true if you are declining a job offer made after May. If you become available later in the scoring season or want to change your decision, please Submit a HelpSpot request to be reconsidered for a project assignment.
Note: If you declined a specific project job offer due to your availability, you will receive a “Not Qualified” message. Regardless of this message – you are still eligible for future project invitations.
2. Pending Assignment
2.1. When will I receive a scoring/work assignment?
Once you have been sent an invitation to work on a specific project (content, shift, and time zone), accepted that invitation to work, and completed your Form I-9 (if required), you will receive an email with information about what to expect before the work assignment begins (Step 10 of the Training Process).
Closer to your training assignment date you will receive one email with your login credentials for the MI Scoring and Training Platform (MIRA) (Step 11 of the Training Process), and another email with specific details about your training assignment, a link to the installation of the MIRA platform, as well as information about registering for or making changes to your account in ADP, MI’s payroll system (Step 12a and 12B of the Training Process). Please go to our Payroll Knowledge Book for more information about registering for a payroll account, setting up direct deposit, and how to make changes to tax forms and profile details.
If you have not received a training assignment email 2 business days before the start date(s) included in the job description/job offer, please Submit a HelpSpot request. We value your willingness to work as a Reader/Evaluator on this upcoming scoring project!
2.2. What should I do if I am no longer available to work for MI?
If you have completed training, select the Scoring tab to contact your Team Leader (TL) using the Chat function to let scoring leadership know that you are no longer able to work on your current project or are no longer available to work for MI. If you have yet to complete training, please Submit a HelpSpot request.
3. Training Questions
3.1. How long is the training process for Remote Readers?
Your assignment email will give you the exact day to start training. Many projects allow two to three (2-3) business days from the start date given in your assignment email to complete your assigned lesson(s). Others require more days. Our training application will periodically provide a notification regarding how much time you have to complete your lesson.
You will be locked out of the training application if you take too long to complete a lesson or group of lessons. Please be aware that repeated lockouts may be a cause for dismissal from the project and you may not receive additional work assignments in the future.
For more information about the lockout system, please visit Chapters 1.5 and 1.6 of the Technical Knowledge Book.
Training is self-guided, and your training assignment email will provide you details if your training schedule is similar to the project scoring schedule. However, you may only train Monday through Friday, for up to 7.5 hours a day.
The number of lessons varies with the content area, but your training schedule will provide you with enough time to complete all your assigned lessons.
3.2. Is this paid training?
Yes. Measurement Incorporated will track your time and progress through your assigned lesson(s). You will need to log into the MIRA Scoring System and click on the Training tab to begin. Be sure you are logged out of the MIRA Scoring System when you are not training.
3.3. I can’t find my MIRA username and/or password
Approximately 5 days before the beginning of a project, all seasonal employees are sent their current username for the MIRA Scoring System in an email with “measinc.com” in the address. All Readers new to Measurement Incorporated will need to create a password. Please see the Technical Knowledge Book and select 1.4. MIRA Password Requirements.
If you misplaced your username and/or are having difficulties with your password reset or log-in to the training/scoring system, please Submit a HelpSpot request, select “Technical Issues” and choose “MIRA/VSC Password reset or need username.”
Remember, your MIRA login is not interchangeable with your MSP, Paycor, or WorkBright login. Please use the correct password and username for the MIRA scoring system.
3.4. I’m having problems with my training lesson
- If you have content questions, please Submit a HelpSpot request, select “Training or Scoring Process,” and choose the appropriate subcategory.
- If you have technical questions (i.e., cannot install the software, or have problems reading the materials, or moving through the training lessons), please Submit a HelpSpot request, select “Technical Issues,” and choose the appropriate category.
3.5. Do I need to keep track of my work time while training and scoring?
Information and instructions about how your work time is tracked can be found in the Paycor Payroll System for Readers document attached to the training assignment email you receive. In it you will find information on:
- Our timekeeping system
- How to check your timecard for accuracy
- How to report a time entry that is incorrect
- How to edit personal information in Paycor
- How to verify your Rate of Pay
- How to print your payroll statements, add or change your Direct Deposit information, and submit new tax forms
- Troubleshooting tips for Paycor
It is your responsibility to keep an accurate log of your work hours for reference, to review your timecard in Paycor for accuracy at least once a week, and to report any inaccuracies to our website for Remote Readers/Evaluators (HelpSpot).
3.6. When do I start scoring after training?
After you successfully complete the lesson(s) you were assigned, you are eligible to begin scoring IMMEDIATELY. You will NOT receive another email asking you to start scoring.
When you immediately start scoring If there are no student responses available when you click the Scoring icon, send a MIRA chat to your Team Leader. There are times when the flow of responses is slow.
- Please also read the Out of Work Message on your dashboard when you log into MIRA to begin scoring!
3.7. What happens if I do not qualify on a training assignment?
If you have several lessons to train on, keep training. You will be able to score items for any training you successfully completed.
If you were given only one training lesson, you may receive another project invitation if there are multiple scoring projects offered during a scoring season. However, we cannot guarantee that you will receive an additional assignment as we try to provide work to everyone who is ready and available to receive an invitation to work.
4. Scoring Scheduling Questions
4.1. What is the Scoring Schedule?
- In 2025, Scoring Schedules cover a wide range of options. When you apply for work you are given 3 options for work shifts. You are asked for your shift choice again when you are sent a job offer to work on a specific project.
- You may work within your time zone, but MIRA availability is based on Eastern Time.
- Scoring system accessibility varies for every project. Available working hours will be stated in the job description for each project.
- Some projects have very flexible working hours.
- The scoring system (MIRA) is accessible from 7am to 3am Eastern Time Monday through Friday and Sunday Eastern Time. On Saturday, the scoring system (MIRA) is open from 7am to midnight Eastern Time.
- You are NOT permitted access to MIRA from Sunday 12am to 7am Eastern Time.
4.2. Schedule Limitations
- Any restrictions to available working hours will be included in the job description for each project.
- All project job offers come with a standard questionnaire that must be completed. You will be asked to select a shift, and you will be asked to select from a range of hours you plan to work each week. Some projects will have shift restrictions and require a minimum number of hours to work each week.
- If you cannot meet the project requirements, you will not be able to work on that specific project.
- For specific scheduling information about the current project you are working on, please visit Chapter 2.2.of the General Knowledge Book.
4.3. Shift Changes and Absences
Shift Changes:
- If your project has shift and/or minimum-hours-worked restrictions and you have a change in your schedule after you have accepted an invitation, please Submit a Request at: HELPSPOT.
Absences:
- Generally, brief absences do not have to be reported to anyone if a project has a training and scoring window of 6-14 weeks; however, failing to report to work for over 2 weeks may result in dismissal from the project. You may be required to retrain before you can resume scoring.
- Some projects are required to be completed within 2-4 weeks after the project starts. These projects tend to require regular attendance. In these cases, an absence of more than 4 working days will require retraining before you can resume scoring.
- If have an extended absence, please visit Chapter 2.2.of the General Knowledge Book to check on the status of the project you were working on as it may no longer be active.
- To report an extended absence, please Submit a Request at: HELPSPOT.
5. Post Project Information
5.1. How can I receive employment verification?
Please go to Chapter 9 of the Payroll Knowledge Book for up-to-date information on receiving employment verification.
5.2. Does MI provide references?
Online scoring is part-time, seasonal work. Training is self-guided, and supervision is done through instant messaging. Because of the nature of this work and the limited contact with leadership, Measurement Incorporated does not provide professional references or recommendations for Remote Readers/Evaluators seeking work elsewhere. For more information, please go to the Payroll Knowledge Book, Chapter 7.4.
