Andy - as I said, I know that there's a cost implication with evenings and weekends. I also guessed that there might be a cost implication with a pay-per-check basis, if you couldn't get the same deal with PP but based on paying them after they'd actually done the work. Without knowing, though, the cost implications of not getting the checks done (or getting them done with a small level of takeup) or the level of takeup required to achieve whatever our goal is, I'm not in a position to suggest anything. I thought that was clear from my post? As expensive as evening and weekend checks might be, they strike me as the easiest way to get a more significant level of takeup - whether or not they're a good idea overall depends on variables about which the rest of us have no idea. And for the record - yes, having the EO supervise checks would have made me much more comfortable. Why should I not trust them more than some folks I've never met?
