FAQs
-
Are the working hours flexible?
Yes, you can work whenever suits you best, as long as the assignment is submitted before the deadline.
-
How do taxes work?
If you have a valid European VAT-number, you can charge us the appropriate percentage of VAT. If you do not have a VAT number, you cannot charge us VAT and you are responsible for paying the legally required taxes within your country. We therefore advise you to sign up at a local Payroller so that they will take care of your financial administration.
-
How will I receive jobs?
We work with a transcriber platform where you see an overview of all jobs assigned or available to you. When we assign or invite you for a job, you will also be notified via email. Generally, we use emails to communicate with our transcribers on a daily basis.
