  • Retrieving information to assist caregivers with any payroll-related inquiries
  • Utilizing de-escalation techniques when supporting upset or frustrated callers
  • Offering guidance and directions to both caregivers and patients to effectively resolve any issues they're facing
  • Documenting information and outcomes as necessary

  • The ability to multitask and adapt to change in a fast-paced environment

Where NexRep Contracts

NexRep contracts with people in 31 states. The only states we do not currently contract in are: AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, HI, IL, MA, MD, ME, MN, MO, NJ, NY, OR, RI, VT, WA, and WI. We do not currently contract with anyone outside of the US.

Flexible Hours of Operation

As a 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 between 30-35 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 30 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 NexRep 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 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.
