I work for parameds, the pay sucks and it's long long hours. If you must work from home, you might want to try it. Personally I would not recommend it at all, it's slave labor. I'm thinking of quitting soon.

By Israeli standards, people say they do well working for Parameds.

The problem is that it takes a few mos. to start making enough money, so it's not going to help you for the short-term.

um I get paid a ridiculous $1.50-$4.50 a case. My time is not valuable at all it's all about the cases and how fast they come in which you have zero control over. I make 800+ NIS and I work 8 hours a day, 4 times a week. Even for Israelis that's way below minimum.

Most people I know make much better than that if you mean 800 NIS a month. Did you just start?

I worked for them for a very short period of time and made about that for the 2ish weeks I worked there. (Quit b/c I had a complication at the beginning of my pregnancy and already had another job and couldn't handle both.)

The first 4 mos., you make pennies. After that, it depends b/c it's not per hr., but I think I was told people make 3500-4000 shekel a month.

I made between $600-$700 per month. The thing is that as hard as you work, you really have no control over how fast it happens. Even if you put in a lot of effort, it's not in your hands how fast doctors' offices and hospitals take care of requests.

eta: I did not find it pleasant to deal with the higher-ups at Parameds. They were downright nasty at times.

That's very true about the work. They say that the more work (requests you make), the more will come in, but there's no guarantees.

I personally know people that do very well there and laughed at me when I quit and told me I should quit the job that I kept (which made around 3,500 + or - NIS a month). They said Parameds pays much better. I also have a friend that loves working there and after a few yrs. became a higher up (hope she wasn't the one I spoke to you. I would highly doubt it. She is SO nice.)

Parameds also works American hrs., which means you'd have to work afternoon - night. I found this hard. I'd rather work in the morning and in the night if I didn't finish.

How did you make that much? I totally agree about having no control over it. Most of my cases go through Healthport and they can NOT be rushed, which means I case can take a month!! Such a pain. And for working a month on it and calling many many many times I get $4.30 maybe. Or $1.50 depending if I'm getting paid by flat fee or floating scale.
My supervisor is a DOLL bH!! I would not survive a day doing this work if not for her.

Oorah/Kars4Kids is frequently looking for people to work at home in Israel. The pay is not too bad - $9.00 an hour, or about 35 shekels an hour to do sales/customer service.

I quit a few months ago after almost 10 years there.. and to get that low after so much time when the demand for higher and higher quality is horrible. I calculated that what I was making was below the legal israeli minimum wage.. total slave labor.

you were there for 10 years? Wow. How'd you last so long? Did you take 65 new cases a week? How many hours did you work everyday?

Normally I am a fly on the wall on this site - I read the posts that are applicable and almost never comment - but now I really must,

I work for Parameds and I am so happy with them!

I dont have to send my baby anywhere - I work when she naps in the afternoon and then again when she's asleep for the night (granted I only have 1 baby - but I know many mothers of more children who work for them in the eve...). The company is'nt going anywhere and the consistency of it I love. Each call is different and that keeps it from being boring...once you learn the ropes and become quick at it the pay is decent (for an Israeli salary) - / it is also for many a side job that only takes up the night....we get sunday off so its a 4 day work week and apart from Mondays it takes rarely longer then 6 hours! ...

All in all im very happy to advocate for Parameds! My supervisor is great and they're constantly praising, acknowledging and rooting for you do make the most $ and do well!
