How to contract with us

The process is simple. Submit a resume highlighting your experience and particular expertise—with a letter that indicates the kind of opportunities you’re seeking. Once we’ve determined that your experience conforms to what we’re looking for, a member of our team will contact you for a personal interview. When positions become available, we’ll revisit your profile—and if the fit is right, we’ll put your name forward for consideration. You’re never obligated to pursue a particular opportunity; the freedom to choose is entirely in your hands

Timesheets

Electronic Timesheets: If you have Internet access, you will be using our e-timesheet application. On your second day of work, an email explaining the site and how to log in will be emailed to you. Please click here if you would like more information or a demo of our e-timesheet application.

What you need to know

• To guarantee your payroll is processed on time, we need to receive your timesheet no later than 10:00 AM each Monday morning. For subcontractors, both a timesheet and invoice are required.
• You are responsible for obtaining your Supervisor’s signature for your timesheet each week
• Overtime must be approved by your Supervisor by having her/him initial the overtime box. Generally, overtime is considered any hours over 44.0 hours in one work week. However, with some clients anything over 37.5 hours may need approval. Please ask your Consultant about overtime should it be required.
• It is important to complete and add up your timesheet with care. Double check the addition of total hours on your timesheet before submitting it.
• Lunch is not paid. If you work over lunch and expect to be paid for that time, you must receive approval from your Consultant—and let altisSPR know that you worked and will be paid for lunch.
• If you are faxing your timesheet, be sure to do so properly. If you do not commonly use the fax machine in your workplace, ask for guidance – especially whether to put the page face up or face down. We receive a large number of timesheets per week that are blank.
