Does anyone know whether they pay by minute only like LiveOps? Hopefully, someone can let me know. Thanks

It says something about LiveOps in the AD, unless they are just referencing how their system is different from LiveOps from them in the ad.
I would think the best thing to do is do a search for the company "Element Care" . Wishing anyone who applys the best of luck...and keep us all posted!

From what I can read, it says that English speaking earns $10/ph and English/Spanish speaking earns $12/ph.
