Flexible Hours of Operation

As a Teladoc 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.

Hours of operation are 24/7, giving you complete flexibility to work when it’s best for you. Overnight hours are limited, however, making this an especially great opportunity for someone seeking morning, afternoon, or evening hours.

Please note that our third-party client, Teladoc, requires that each independent contractor services a minimum of 30 hours per week. If you’d prefer to service fewer than 30 hours per week as an independent contractor, you’re free to pursue a different opportunity within the NexRep Marketplace.

Plus, 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:

• Access to program experts who are available to meet with you upon request
• Free certification and ongoing development opportunities
• Certification classes span two consecutive weeks, Monday through Friday, with eight hours of online classroom time each day.

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.
