FAQs: Work & Compensation
What happens when the project ends?
Agents who have successfully completed at least 40 hours on a project are eligible to post for
additional projects. Projects are available to active agents first.
Can I work on more than one project at a time?
Yes, agents are typically eligible to work on two to three projects at once. We cannot guarantee
consistent work will be available, but we do our best to keep our reliable and successful agents
busy. Please remember that reliability is as important as performance, especially when working
with a virtual workforce.
Who determines the hours I work?
Agents are able to schedule the hours they want to work, but they are responsible for those hours
once scheduled. Agents who consistently follow through on their commitments and perform well
on their projects will have more success and will be given priority scheduling.
Do you provide benefits?
All of our agents are self-employed independent contractors. Traditional employee benefits, such
as paid time off and health insurance, cannot be offered. The main benefits are the ability to
schedule your own hours and work when it is convenient for you, from the comfort of home,
without the hassles of commuting and purchasing a professional wardrobe.
Working Solutions also offers several Agent Community Perks, including discounts to major
computer retailers, and Agent Rewards and Referral Programs.
Do you have a referral program?
Yes. If you were referred to us by one of our agents, be sure to list them on your application, so
they can receive credit for bringing us another qualified agent.
How much can I earn?
Each project is paid differently. Some pay by the record or entry, while others pay by talk
minutes, sales, or a combination of both. Some may be paid a set amount per project. Agents
have earned the equivalent of anywhere from $7.20 per hour to $30 per hour, depending on the
project. Your income will vary greatly based on the work you are doing, how successful you are,
how much work is available, and how many hours you choose to work.
How will I get paid?
We offer direct deposit, or we can send checks by mail. Checks are issued every other week to
those who have invoiced for work completed.
Will working as an agent replace my full-time job?
We do not recommend that agents count on this as a full-time job replacement. This is temporary
project work, and it is meant to provide supplemental income. As an independent contractor, you
are able to take advantage of other opportunities outside of Working Solutions while working with
us.
Why can't I access the "secure agent area" of the web site?
The Secure Agent Area is only available to agents who are actively working on a Working Solutions
project.
