Pre-Sales
If the job site is in Davis, travel is covered. Anything beyond that incurs a $0.45 /mile reimbursement per the IRS standard mileage rate.
No, I am looking for employment in a manner consistent with the strategy of workforce 2.0. One the aspects of workforce 2.0 as a strategy, is it fosters intrepreneurism. Since I am proactive and not reactive, hunting for work is more interesting than fishing for work.
Absolutely. Administrative tasks, email handling, inventory spreadsheet updates, and even virtual customer‑service can be done from my home office at the same rates or with a discount.
Some services do not qualify for overtime. Typically, overtime will only be an issue is with hourly projects that exceed 8 hours per shift.
Standard hourly and task‑based work can begin within 24 hours of agreement. For larger commitments I typically need 2‑3 business days to prepare.
Given my experience, orientation is typically fast and easy. Schedule a time to orient me, and the first hour is free. Show me the POS, lights, alarms or whatever is important to successful serve your needs.
For standard hourly work there’s no cancellation fee. For flat‑rate shifts or retainer bookings I ask for at least 24 hours notice; otherwise a 25 % cancellation fee applies.
Flexibility is built in. Together, we can adjust the pricing model on the fly—e.g., shift from hourly to a block‑hour package—by issuing a revised quote.
Orientation
I wear clothing that is appropriate for the work environment. For pants I wear khaki or black pants and for shirts either a white or black long-sleave oxford button-up. For fashion retailers, I can make some adjustments. No problem.
It’s best to schedule training at the beginning of the first shift or a few days before work begins. If the work is outside of Davis, orientation will be scheduled for a time immediately before the first shift, or I will have to charge for the time I spend driving.
If you decide to hire me as a W-2 employee, my compensation structure will be based on a standard hourly rate, but with a specific provision. For the initial hour of work, I will not be charging for my time, essentially providing a complimentary introductory period. However, once this first hour has elapsed, I will officially be “on the clock,” and you will be responsible for paying me for all subsequent hours worked at the predetermined hourly rate. This means that you will only start incurring labor costs after the initial hour has passed, and I will begin earning my regular compensation for all hours worked thereafter.
On the other hand, if you choose to hire me as a 1099 contract worker, our agreement will be based on a different compensation model. Similar to the W-2 arrangement, the first hour of work will be provided at no charge to you, serving as a trial or introductory period. However, after this initial hour has expired, you will be charged for my services at the rate we have mutually agreed upon, as outlined in our contract. This rate will be applied to all hours worked beyond the first hour, and you will be invoiced accordingly for the time I spend on your project or tasks. In this scenario, you will have greater flexibility in terms of the scope of work and the duration of our collaboration.
