Employment flexibility - Special Response offers an alternative employment opportunity. Once you have qualified for employment we will call you as opportunities become available. We may call you and ask you to travel to a job site(s) on 24 hours notice and commit to a minimum 45-day work period. Of course, we would like you to accept an assignment when we call you, but if your current circumstances do not permit you to travel, you can refuse an assignment. If you accept an assignment Special Response Corporation will cover the cost of your travel and make your travel arrangements for you. While on the job site you will be provided food and lodging and be paid a competitive wage for your professional services. If you prefer an alternative to the 40 hour 5 day work week, then employment with Special response could be right for you. Because you may work 12 hour shifts, 7 days a week when on a Special Response assignment, then three - 45 day assignments with Special Response Corporation could equal 10 months in a traditional 5 day 40 hour week job.



Example:
a) Work with Special Response Corporation: If you work three 45-day assignments in a year with Special Response: Total days worked = 3x45 or 135 days Total hours worked = 135 days x12 hours/day = 1,620 hours.
b) Work a traditional 40 hour, 5 day week with another employer. To accumulate the same 1,620 hours you have worked in three 45-day periods with Special Response, you would need to work more than 40 weeks, or approximately 10 months in a traditional job a arrangement with some other employer (1,620 hours divided by 40 hour week = 40.5 weeks or 10 months) Profile of a Special Response Team Member
