White Glove Contracts

"For Customers Who Want Automate America to Bill Them and Pay the Professionals"

White Glove is how an hourly contract is run and paid: Automate America is the supplier of record. You choose the professionals; Automate America never chooses or assigns them.

What's Included

• One supplier and one invoice: Automate America invoices you for the approved hours
• Automate America pays the professionals on the contract's net terms
• Ongoing support during the contract

Fees

• We take a small variable percentage of the rate you posted before we show the contract to the community
• This option costs you nothing extra: you pay the rate you posted
• Professionals are paid 100% of the rate they see when they apply

• Customers who want one supplier and one invoice
• Those who prefer hands-off billing and payment

White Glove Label

For permanent employment opportunities.

How It Works
