Start Date:
The ideal candidate will be ready to begin full-time employment immediately. This job should be your only commitment. We are not interested in hiring people who are working with multiple companies or potential competitors. The position will ideally begin on or before the 4th full week of March 2024.

Education:
The employer will provide some basic training and education to the successful candidate. But, the employee should have and be able to show tremendous experience creating graphics for other businesses.

Salary and Payment:
The ideal candidate will earn MORE money than the stated salary! This is a position where you earn more as you help the company retain and add new clients. We already have a GREAT start with several businesses that need new videos and graphics each week. Our clients are marketing to U.S. consumers and expect designs that look like they were produced by Nike, Pepsi, Gatorade, or the Olympic Games. There are also multiple opportunities for bonuses each year, some of which are described below. We also expect you to strive to earn raises. If you are growth-minded, your salary could double within 1-2 years.

This position will be paid weekly for the first couple months through the secure EasyPay System OR Payoneer in order to build trust between both the employer and employee. This may shift to monthly payment once trust is fully established. We ABSOLUTELY want a long-term employee who feels good about being paid by us. And we want to trust that work is being complete on time and professionally each day. Payment will be provided at the end of each week after required work is submitted. This position will NOT require use of the Timeproof system. However, the employer does ask that employees keep a general list of what they work on each day. This will be tracked through a Google Spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is meant to be non-invasive in order to help the employee and employer improve communication and understand the time needed to successfully complete projects.

The Employer will also provide a 13th Month Bonus. This bonus will be equal to the number of months worked prior to the 13th month. For example, if you begin on April 1, 2024, the 13th-month bonus will be provided for a 9-month employee during year 1. During year 2 and each additional year of employment, the 13th Month Bonus will be provided for the full 12-month year.

Vacation and Paid Time Off:
The weekly salary will be standard and provided regardless of vacation time. For example, if your Annual Salary is set at php 15,000 (or $300 US Dollars) / month, you will receive that amount regardless of the number of days or weeks in a month. This means, during an entire year, you will receive $300 / month for 12 months, or $3,600 U.S. Dollars per year as the standard salary. In addition to this salary you will also receive the 13th Month Bonus as described above. In addition to the 13th Month Bonus, you will also be eligible for monthly bonuses.

Employees may take an Approved Paid Vacation Day (APVD) whenever they want. The company will not deduct pay from your salary for a APVD. Employees are permitted up to 4 business weeks (roughly 1 business month) of APVD per year. This is equivalent to 20 business days of APVD per year. No more APVD days are permitted. Unpaid days may be taken, however they must be approved with advanced notice as well. During the beginning of employment, employees earn 1 APVD for every week they successfully work. For example, an employee who works for 1 month (or 4 weeks) will receive 4 APVDs. If there are 5 weeks during that month, then the employee will be eligible for 5 APVDs or 1 full week of paid time off. In other words, an employee could theoretically be eligible to be paid 4 weeks of work while only working 3 weeks during a month at times.

All APVD days should be submitted to the employer at least 2-4 weeks prior to day off. It is understood some emergencies might occur. Official holidays are not considered part of the APVD. Employees are permitted to take off official national holidays. These days are considered as paid or part of the agreed upon salary. In other words, your salary will not decrease due to holidays.

It is expected that employees do not take APVD days unless deadlines are met and work is completed satisfactorily. This is VERY important.

It is also expected, but not required, that employees USE their APVD days each year. We WANT our employees to be happy and to enjoy their time off. Mental health is important to our organization.

In addition to APVD, the employer wants to find a great employee who is ready to help their company grow. Ideal candidates will achieve work goals and manage their schedule effectively and independently. There is no requirement for days worked or time per day as long as work is being consistently completed and communication with the employer is satisfactory. Trust must be established over time. If you are quick to respond and complete amazing professional work we are much more happy to allow you freedom in your schedule.

Following deadlines and completing amazing, modern graphics are the MOST important parts of this job.

Probation Period and Length of Agreement:
All Virtual Employees are considered to be important parts of our organization. We GREATLY value the health, well-being, and success of our employees and teaUpgrade to see actual infombers. It is important to both the organization and the employees that the proper fit and communication is established early on.

Every employee will receive monthly feedback on their work and education in order to help them grow. A quarterly evaluation will be provided. If the employee or the employer is not satisfied with the conditions during these evaluations, the agreement may be canceled during this time.

An initial 90-day probationary period is entered upon the first day of employment. The goal of this period is to make sure the employee is happy and enjoys the position. During this time, the employer may cancel the agreement at any time. If the agreement is canceled, the employee will still be paid for work that is completed as long as it is satisfactory to the employer and certified complete. Remember, employees will be paid weekly in order to make sure work is always paid for on time and so that there is not a large back log of hours and payment in question.
