Flexible Hours of Operation

As a Customer Support Representative, you'll enjoy flexible scheduling, where you use a self-scheduling platform to select when you work and when you don't, within the client's hours of operation.

Hours of operation are:

• Monday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET
• Tuesday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM ET
• Wednesday, 8:00 AM to 01:00 PM ET
• Thursday and Friday, 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM ET

This opportunity is perfect for someone seeking roughly 10-15 hours per week so they can easily schedule around other commitments!

Due to Mondays and Tuesdays being particularly busy, Automated Health Systems requires that contractors service at least 5 hours on Mondays and at least 4 hours on Tuesdays. If you'd prefer to service fewer hours on Mondays and Tuesdays, or not to service any hours on Mondays and Tuesdays as an independent contractor, you're free to pursue a different opportunity within the NexRep Marketplace.

Pay and Perks

This flexible opportunity pays independent contractors $13 per hour.

Your remote, independent contractor status allows you to work in the comfort of your own home - or anywhere in the US you can meet the office requirements.

You'll enjoy significant savings in expenses related to transportation, clothing, childcare or eldercare, and food. You may also qualify for home office tax deductions, but you should consult with an accountant to determine eligibility.

In addition, you'll receive:

• One-on-one mentorship
• Free certification and ongoing development opportunities
• The freedom and flexibility to choose your own schedule, within the client's hours of operation
• The chance to achieve better work-life balance

You'll also be able to take advantage of NexRep Perks, a program that recognizes the service provided by independent contractors to NexRep's clients and their customers via the NexRep Marketplace platform. With the NexRep Perks program, you'll have the opportunity to earn Perks points. As those points add up, you'll unlock access to Perks - exclusive discounts and savings on a variety of common expenses such as health and dental coverages, banking services, legal and technical support, and more!

Please note that NexRep is connecting independent contractors to exclusive discounts and savings opportunities and is not providing employee benefits nor establishing an employee benefit program. Each independent contractor makes their own decision whether to engage with a Perks Partner. NexRep receives no compensation in any form from the Perks Program.
