Bond
Do I have to accept all contracts?
No. You will receive email notifications when a contract is available in a region you selected during your registration process.
Before applying to any contract, you must first read the job description: (what must be done and when, what it pays, where the business is located) and THEN apply ONLY if you are interested in doing the contract. If not, ignore the notification and wait until there’s a contract that you feel is worth your time.
Once a contract is assigned to you (you will be notified by email), you will then have full access to instructions and forms. After reading the instructions, you can withdraw your application if you are not comfortable doing the contract. However, you must advise the project manager, immediately. If you do not contact the project manager or if you constantly withdraw from contracts, your file will be deleted.

Jobs
What do we mean by occasional on call work?
Exactly that! The number of jobs varies from one region to another. Obviously, there are fewer contracts in remote locations… but hey… we never know what will come up during the year!
However, if you enjoy this type of work, you can always register with other companies and accumulate more contracts and hours in your region! The only thing we ask is to keep it professional … what happens at C3 stays at C3!
Rate
What is the remuneration?
C3 pays a flat rate per contract. The amount given depends on the level of difficulty of the tasks, the time required on location and the length of the report to write.
We do not pay any mileage (unless specified in the job description). It’s up to YOU to determine if the offer is worth your while before applying on a contract.
Money
Contracts that pays with merchandise or service
C3 might post contracts that pays only by reimbursing a product or service (Ex: restaurants, automobile service, etc.).
You might find these types of contracts interesting if you actually need the service or product! Again, it’s up to YOU to determine if the offer is worth your while before applying on a contract.
Milesage
Travel & Mileage compensation
C3 Client Satisfaction Inc. does not pay any mileage for gas or traveling, since we have agents across this beautiful country as well as at our American neighbors.

For bundled locations in a contract, a small compensation might be included for gas, if this is the case, it will be clearly detailed in the job description. Again, it’s up to YOU to determine if a contract is worth your while!
