Control Your Time



"Control your time"

"Cut out the middle man"

"Drop in schedule"

There are lots of descriptive phrases for how Purple handles scheduling, but what it boils down to is you are in control of your time.

Today two of our interpreters walked into our center and asked if they could grab some additional work hours to round out their week. They weren't pre-scheduled. I had no idea that they were coming. Both interpreters came on a whim because they had space in their calendar. I was thrilled to have them. I checked our online scheduling program and saw that we had availability nationwide. Within minutes they were on the phones and having positive customer interactions.

As Flex employees at Purple, you don't have to schedule your time in advance. We know ASL interpreters and we know that you are working for more than one agency or organization. We also know that Purple is just one of your incredible options. That is why Purple wants to let you be in charge of your scheduling.

We cut out the middleman. With our online scheduling program, you can grab shifts on your own, without even talking to a manager. We can accommodate drop-in scheduling. Are you in the neighborhood or driving by the call center? We'd love to have you stop by or give us a call. You can check availability and get started on the clock without approval. If you can't make a shift that you've signed up for, you can find someone to swap you shifts or to take your shift.You can budget your time with us on your terms.

Of course, there are people who do like to have a schedule and who prefer to know that they will have work six weeks in advance. For those of you who like that stability, we have options for you, too! We can schedule you in advance with your preferences to guarantee your access to work when you want it.

I'm not sure what motivated the two interpreters to come in today. Did they have unexpected bills to pay? Were they planning an epic vacation? Were they thinking of their Christmas savings? I may never know their back story for that particular choice. What I do know is that we had the hours they needed and that everything worked out perfectly.

We have a scheduling option for everyone! We want to accommodate you the best that we can.
