For rural locations, offer per diem and hotel accommodations, typically at $75/day. Automate America takes a small percentage of the hourly rate before sharing the contract with professionals.

Who Pays Who on Automate America?

Do You Sponsor Work VISA's?

Most non-U.S. residents working with Automate America have established companies in their own country. We provide a Request for Services letter, and in some cases, customers will directly support VISA sponsorship. Feel free to apply to any project; if the job does not allow non-U.S. residents, the application will specify this.

To Good To Be True?

Automate America takes a small percentage of the rate the customer posts, before showing it to professionals in the marketplace. Our streamlined, automated back-office processes keep costs low, allowing us to offer these services without hidden fees or high markups.

What Rate Should I Post My Contract For?

Your contract rate should match the burden rate of an employee in the same role. Take the employee’s hourly base pay and multiply it by 1.8x. This ensures the contractor costs the same as a full-time employee, but with less risk and commitment.

How is the Burden Rate Calculated?

Employees are expensive! The burden rate is the true cost of an employee, including pay, taxes, benefits, and overhead. Contractors cost you less risk and commitment. Use 1.8x base pay as a rule of thumb to calculate the equivalent hourly contract rate.
