Press the orange button, with the \u201cCheckUp\u201d icon, beneath the shift details to send a counteroffer to the dental office.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your counter offer for a higher hourly rate will be viewable by the office, and can be accepted within 5 hours of you countering. As unfilled shifts get closer to their deadline, offices are likely more willing to accept a counter offer for a higher hourly rate!&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be aware that your counter offer is your final acceptable working rate, because the office can\u2019t counter your counter offer!&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you really want to work a shift as it\u2019s convenient for you; don\u2019t counter an offer at a rate more than a few dollars above the original rate because there is most likely another professional countering your offer with a much lower one!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>5.&nbsp; How to Decline a Shift:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Are you being offered shifts you can\u2019t work? Then press the red button beneath the shift details to decline the shift.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>There is no obligation to ever pick up any shifts!<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You never have to accept a minimum amount of shifts in a given time frame to keep your TempMee account active and valid.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Declining shifts helps us help you. When you decline a shift it lets us know not to keep sending you notifications for that specific shift in the future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Professionals are free to decline as many shifts as they want without it affecting their ability to accept shifts in the future. You are also free to accept as many shifts as you can or none at all. Either way, we are thankful you are a part of the TempMee community.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Am I allowed to cancel a shift I already have confirmed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Office and patients you committed to work for are depending on you to show up and do a great job! When you cancel a shift you already confirmed, you are causing the office to miss out on time they could have had the job posted,and possibly had it picked up by another professional who is actually available!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because canceling a shift you are already confirmed causes Dental Offices to lose faith in the efficacy of TempMee; we have to promise to protect them by having the computer system automatically block professionals who cancels a shift.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Text or call us at 786-460-2170 to let us know your reason for canceling a shift with as much notice as possible. If the reason for canceling is reasonable and out of your control we are happy to unblock your account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>7.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>What it\u2019s like to work with TempMee:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You will receive a notification reminding you of an upcoming shift 24 hours before the shift starts. Patients are depending on you showing up on time!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You show up to the office as you normally would any other and introduce yourself to the office manager or dentist and they will tell you everything you need to know to fulfill your temp duties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Of course, always act professionally when at any dental office. You never know when they might offer you future shifts or even offer to hire you full-time through TempMee\u2019s \u201cPermanent Placement\u201d feature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>8.&nbsp; You have to&nbsp;<strong>enter payment information so you can get paid<\/strong>!

Dental professionals who are members of the TempMee community are independent contractors and as such, will be issued 1099 for any income earned through TempMee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>10. End of Day Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Once you complete your shift you will be asked to complete a quick survey where you rate the office you worked with and let us know if you need to adjust the hours you worked.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the time you actually worked a shift is different from the originally agreed upon time frame; make sure you let us know in the \u201cAdjustments\u201d section of the End of Day Review.
