Autonomy as an Independent Contractor
As an independent contractor with One Legal, you have the flexibility to choose which assignments you accept and which you decline based on each job's specifics. This autonomy is a key aspect of our working relationship, allowing you to manage your workload and maintain successful performance standards on One Legal jobs.
Guidelines for Accepting and Declining Jobs
Setting Realistic Coverage Areas: To minimize unnecessary declines, it's crucial to set a coverage area that accurately reflects where you can realistically work. Avoid selecting ZIP codes that are impractical for you based on travel distance or conflict with other work.
Additional clarification on coverage areas: We may amend your coverage area based on feedback and/or a repeated pattern of declines due to an assignment being outside of coverage area.
Notifying of Absences: If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a day, please inform us in advance at [email protected]. This helps us manage job assignments more efficiently and ensures you're not allocated work during your downtime. The more advance notice, of course, the better.
Job Management in ServeManager
All pending jobs appear at the top of your ServeManager account. Each job listing includes 'Accept' and 'Decline' buttons:
Accepting Jobs: If you accept a job, you commit to completing it as required. Should circumstances arise that prevent you from fulfilling the job in a timely fashion, please contact us immediately to discuss the situation or advise that we will need to reassign the work.
Declining Jobs: When declining a job, you must provide a reason from the drop-down menu provided. Adding detailed explanations helps us understand your decision and improve future job assignments.
Communication and Reassignments
In certain cases, we may reach out to discuss your reasons for declining a job. If a mutual agreement is reached upon reviewing your concerns, we may reassign the job to you with clarified expectations.
Work Volume and Independence
Per our independent contractor agreement, we cannot guarantee a specific volume of work. You always retain the right to accept or decline any assignment offered. This policy ensures that your independence is respected.
