What are typical earnings as a contractor?

Good question! Average earnings are $13-$15 plus performance incentives! It depends on the client you choose, how many service hours you provide and how well you perform or deliver your service! Higher performing contractors will earn performance incentives on top of their base revenue. We have contractors that service 10-15 hours a week up to 40+ a week! Revenue payments can be from $250 up to $1800 twice a month! APPLY NOW!

How often are contractors paid?

We make invoice payments to our contractors as follows: 15th and Last Day of each month. If either fall on a holiday or weekend invoice payments are issued the business day prior! Payments are delivered either by Direct Deposit or Good Old Paper Check via snail mail oops we mean US Mail. APPLY NOW!

When do we start earning revenue?

Once you begin Live Calls within your client certification course you will begin to earn revenue and receive an invoice payment shortly thereafter. See our Certification FAQ's for more detail. APPLY NOW!

How many hours do I have to work or can I work?

Most of the clients suggest a minimum of 10-15 service hours. You can certainly work more if there are available hours and you wish to. Each contractor can determine how many (or little) service hours they provide weekly since you are acting as a self-employed or independent contractor. APPLY NOW!

How do breaks, lunches and vacations work?

GOOD QUESTION! Service schedules are managed by the contractor. So you would be able to allocate time for any needs such as breaks and lunches. When you are ready to take some time off just notify LATEAM LLC with your dates and we will do the rest. APPLY NOW!

Do you have to provide service a certain amount of hours each day?

Man you have your thinking cap on today! No you do not. As mentioned most clients will suggest around 15-20 hours for the week. What you choose to service each day is up to you! Please note: Some clients may have weekend requirements to have sufficient coverage for heavy call volume. APPLY NOW!

Are there ways to earn bonuses or incentives on top of the base rate?

Most programs do offer a performance incentive. This is usually based on various metrics such as attendance or schedule adherence; average quality or CSAT scores; FCR or First call resolution or similar metrics as an example. Each client is different so the qualifying metrics to earn bonuses or incentives will be different also. These are shared in the Opportunity Announcement for each client which is available for review when a client is offering a certification course for their program.

Below is a sample of what you might see: These are modified as needed based on several factors by the client so we do not publish a “standard incentive” chart since each client is different and may change as needed. Rather once you have full access to the Arise Portal you will need to review each OA for any client you are interested in before beginning with enrollment.

To learn more about this we strongly encourage you to register for our INFO and Q&A Session hosted weekly several times to gain more insight as well.

No more fees! You may have expenses associated with your home office and the services you need to provide your call center services! APPLY NOW!

Why do I need to become certified before providing services?

Before a call center contractor can begin providing service to a client program, they must take and successfully complete a client certification course. Certification is an investment opportunity. Learners will gain the needed knowledge related to the client, call types, customers, and how to be successful. The charges for these courses range between $5 and $99. This is required by clients in order provide call center support. The course provides information on the client’s systems that will be used by agents, as well as the performance metrics laid out in the operative Statement of Work and other information about the client program. APPLY NOW!

How much are the client certification courses?

Ranging from $5-$99! However, LATEAM LLC offers vouchers to all NEW or Transferring agents. So no worries about that. :)

How long are the classes?

Classes vary in length for each client. Some are 8-10 days in length while others are 2-5 weeks in length including Live Calls. Remember LIVE CALLS mean while still in certification you are now earning service revenue for all live call time. The classes are either 2-4 hours a day with an instructor with self-paced learning content done on your own time before the next class session. Everything is virtual. Please visit our equipment page if you need to purchase a USB headset for your virtual learning experience. APPLY NOW!

Do I get paid during certification?

Yes and No. All instructor led portions; practice; role-play (including Mock Calls); and self-paced learning is unpaid time. Once you enter the Live Call portion of certification you will be earning service revenue for any service time while completing Live Calls. APPLY NOW!

Will I need additional certification?

Some clients do require upskills sessions. These upskills provide you with additional knowledge needed to manage a uniqe interaction with their customer or manage a different type of call altogether. The upskill sessions are usually abbreviated and often offered as self-paced learning. The good news is these are offered at no additonal cost to you. Sometimes you are even paid for that time in class. APPLY NOW!

How can I get a voucher to help pay for the certification course?

Good question and we have an answer. Once you are fully onboarded as one of our agents you will be given access to our Agent Dashboard and can request a voucher.
