Frequently asked questions
Does a medical virtual assistant need a clinical license?
Administrative duties such as scheduling and record coordination generally differ from licensed clinical work. Define the permitted tasks carefully, and confirm any credential or jurisdictional requirements that apply to your practice and patients.
How can a remote assistant handle patient records appropriately?
Set up approved accounts and access controls, train the assistant on your privacy procedures, and limit access to information needed for assigned duties. Establish a clear process for suspected disclosures or uncertain requests.
Which time zones can the role cover?
Candidates in the Philippines work US, Australian, UK or European business hours, and each job post says the schedule. Agree the daily overlap before you hire, and remember the clock shifts when the US or Europe changes its time.
How do I pay someone abroad?
Most employers pay by Wise, Payoneer or a bank transfer. Agree the method, the rate and the payment dates before work starts, and keep the invoices for your own records.
Is this person my employee or my contractor?
Most people hired abroad work as independent contractors: you pay an agreed rate and they handle their own taxes and benefits. If you want an employment relationship, check the rules where you are hiring from or use an employer of record.
Does WorkNow charge a placement fee?
No. You can post a job for free, and our team reviews the first one before it goes live. You are never charged a percentage of the salary.
