**Flexible Hours of Operation**
As a Healthcare Customer Service 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 through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 08:00 PM ET. Please note that this third-party client requires that contractors service at least 20 hours per week. Also, due to Mondays and Fridays being particularly busy, the client is seeking contractors who can service some hours on those days. If you'd prefer to service fewer than 20 hours per week, or not to service any hours on Mondays and Fridays as an independent contractor, you're free to pursue a different opportunity within the arenaflex Marketplace.
**Pay and Perks**
This flexible opportunity pays independent contractors $13 per hour.
Prior to supporting PPL, you will need to successfully complete a Certification class. The Certification class will take place from December 30th through January 8th, Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST. Class will not be held on New Year's Day. While you will not be able to invoice for the $13 per hour during Certification, you will receive $250 after you successfully complete certification and begin servicing.
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 arenaflex Perks, a program that recognizes the service provided by independent contractors to arenaflex's clients and their customers via the arenaflex Marketplace platform. With the arenaflex 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 arenaflex 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. arenaflex receives no compensation in any form from the Perks Program.
