We don’t receive a dime from your paycheck. You will be paid directly by our client. The business owner already paid us for the course and the F.B group. You'll have access to everything once you are officially hired.

ABSOLUTELY!! We place people from all around the world. Most of our applicants come from Central/South America and the Philippines. But we also get people from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and many other places. Feel free to apply wherever you live.
9. How often do I get paid?
This will be a decision your CEO will make. Most of our VA’s get paid once a month, if that is a problem, please bring this up during the interview. We do have people who get paid bi-weekly but it has to be agreed upon before getting hired.
10. What does the schedule look like?
90% of our clients are US-based meaning they work 9-5 EST. Some live in the west coast so the work schedule would be around 11 PST - 6 PST. Every client has a different schedule so it really boils down to them. We do have clients in the U.K and Australia, but not many. If you can not work US times, please make sure to put that in the application.
11. Do you only use PayPal to send payments?
No, we don’t. Our clients have different platforms like Xoom, Payoneer, Veem, Transferwise, Paypal, and many others. Please mention in the interview which platform is best for you. If you do not know, please find out before the interview so we can have you set up. Xoom is the platform Remote Team Member uses most.
12. What are the benefits?
Since you are an independent contractor, there are no benefits to these jobs. You could get bonuses if the company that hires you offers bonuses. Pay raise will come within time but more importantly with better performance. We have VA’s that have 3-4x their initial starting pay.
13. Does Remote Team Member offer a referral program?
If you have any friends, family members, or anyone you know that is looking for a VA job, and they go through our entire application process (put your name on the initial form, submit a 2-5 min video, join our FB group, and go through Roz and Hanna) AND they get hired with one of our clients will send you $50 per referral. (This VA must stick for at least 6 weeks in order for this to count).
14. How do you guys earn money if you are not taking a pay cut from us (VAs)?
We get paid off then initial set up cost and recurring insurance clause we have in place. Our clients also come back and get more VA’s from us and refer more business. We have been able to grow like this without taking a PENNY from the VA. This will not stop. Our mission is to place 10,000+ from all over the world into remote jobs and help them increase their value so they can get paid more than the average person in their country.
