Job types & assignments

Know the job before you say yes.

Every assignment starts as a job inquiry sent to you in TrackOps. You see the details up front, then accept or decline — no pressure, no guesswork.

What each inquiry includes

• Rate type (hourly or day rate)
• Expected hours or days
• Location of the assignment

Accept or decline in TrackOps

Review the assignment in TrackOps and accept the jobs that fit your schedule and region. Decline the rest — it won't count against you.

Rates vary by client type

Law firm and insurance client cases carry different rates. The rate for each job is shown on the inquiry before you accept.
