Stay diligent. We recommend you contact our office by phone or email once a week to update your availability in our system; either contact your recruiter directly or email
info@team1medical.com.
I’ve just left my interview with a client company. What should I do now?
One of the most important parts of an interview is the follow-up. Immediately after your interview, contact your recruiter. Additionally, send a thank you note to everyone you spoke to in the company (even your recruiter!) – an email will do, but a handwritten note is always preferable. Whether you get the position or not, Managers tend to remember candidates who follow up.

Dress for success! It is important to wear professional attire for an interview.
Appropriate attire includes:
- Pressed solid color scrubs
- Suits
- Button-down shirts or blouses
- Dress slacks, skirts or sheath dresses
- Ties
- Dress shoes and socks, closed-toed heels or flats
- Hair should be groomed, and dyed hair should be a natural color
- Fingernails should be kept at a conservative length and only be painted with conservative colors, if at all
We recommend you avoid the following:
- Excessive make-up
- Heavy perfume/cologne
- Large/excessive jewelry
- Miniskirts
- Leggings or Yoga Pants/Athletic Wear
- Sandals/Flip flops
- Sneakers
- Shorts
- Exposed tattoos or body piercings
Remember, your Recruiter is your advocate. It is important that you make a strong first impression. Additionally, many of our clients do, in fact, consider Team1Medical temporaries for full-time positions, so it only makes sense for you to present your sharpest image while you’re interviewing and on assignment.
If you are uncertain about wearing a specific outfit, or if you simply have questions about proper business attire, give us a call, we’ll be glad to help you!
What do I need to bring with me to my interview at Team1Medical?

- A hard copy of your resume.
- Proper forms of ID for the I-9 Form.
- Your list of references and their contact information

Temporary / Temp-to-Hire Assignments
How soon can I start working?
Job availability changes daily. Once your application process is complete, you will be considered for positions based on your preferences, skills, and experience.
If I accept a temporary or temp-to-hire assignment, how soon will I be paid?

Will I receive an ID Badge?
Yes. Some clients issue their own and for others, we issue a badge.
What if I am not interested in a certain position when it is offered; is it all right to turn it down?
Of course. Not every job is going to be the right fit. We believe both client and candidate should mutually benefit from a working partnership. If you are not interested in a position, you are free to decline. We will continue to offer positions to you based on your skills and preferences.
What if I am on an assignment and decide it is not for me?
We realize that not every job is a good fit for you; sometimes you do not know that until you have tried the position. If that is the case, please contact your recruiter right away.
If you decide you cannot see the assignment through to completion, we ask that you give us at least 3 business days’ notice. Please review your handbook regarding this policy.
What should I do if my job duties are different than those that were described to me?
Please notify your recruiter immediately, especially if safety is a concern.
What is the policy if I’m unable to report to work or will be in late?
Communication is key! Please contact Team1Medical right away if you will be late or cannot report to your assignment. If you cannot get your recruiter on the phone, any team member in our office can assist you. Open communication is critical to our mutual success as we ensure that your needs and those of our clients are continued to be met.
Who do I work for, Team1Medical or the client company I am placed at?
Team1Medical is your employer. When you are placed on a temporary or temp-to-hire position, your work assignment, schedule, and rate of pay are determined by Team1Medical. Your paycheck will be issued by Team1Medical, and we provide all workers compensation, unemployment, and other benefits.

Payroll
Will I use paper timesheets or an electronic online system?
It depends on the client. Most of our employers use an electronic, online timesheet system called
eConnect, however, some employers still use paper timesheets or their own electronic timecard system. Your recruiter will discuss with you how you will track your time.
How do I register with eConnect?
You will receive a welcome letter from eConnect, prompting you to set up a username and password so you can access your timesheets.
Where can I find my pay stub history?
If you already use eConnect to submit your timesheets, you can access your pay stub history by logging into
eConnect and clicking Check History on the left-hand side of the screen. If you use manual timesheets, give us a call and we can send you a link to register with eConnect. Once you register, your check history will be available to view.
What forms of payment do you offer?
Employees have the option of selecting direct deposit or cash card to receive their paycheck.
When do I get paid?
Our employees who have selected to enroll in direct deposit will be paid every Friday. For those who elect to have their paycheck delivered by cash card, these will be issued and mailed out on Thursday afternoon, or they can be picked up at our corporate office.
When are timesheets due?
Electronic timecards are due no later than Sunday evening. However, most employees complete their electronic timecard at the end of their work week.
How do I submit a timesheet?
All employees on
eConnect will submit their timesheet through the online system. Once a timesheet is filled out for the current week ending, select “Save and Submit” on the bottom of the screen. This will notify the designated supervisor at your place of employment that your timesheet has been submitted and is awaiting their approval. Once the supervisor approves your timesheet, it will be available to your Payroll Administrator and added to the current week’s payroll. If you are using manual timesheets, these may be submitted via mail, scanned in and emailed, or dropped off at our corporate office.
When will my supervisor receive my timesheet?
If you’re using
eConnect to track your time, your supervisor will receive your timesheet once you save and submit it. If you’re using paper timesheets, you must fill out and turn in your timesheet directly to your supervisor.
Who do I contact if there is a mistake or an issue with my timesheet?
If you already submitted your timesheet, contact our Payroll Administrator at
payroll@executeam.com directly with any corrections that need to be made.
How do I change my eConnect password?
If you forgot your
eConnect password, simply click on the reset password link. If you want to update your password once already logged into eConnect, click on the Change Password link located on the left-hand side of the webpage.
If my supervisor goes on vacation, how will my timesheet get approved?
If you are unsure who to submit your timesheet to, contact our Payroll Administrator at
payroll@executeam.com for more information.
Who do I contact if I need to change my form of payment or update my account information?
If where I’m working is closed for a holiday or unforeseeable circumstance, do I still get paid?
It depends on the client. Certain positions qualify for holiday pay for 6 major holidays (Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas and New Year’s Day) upon completion of a set number of hours. Consult your recruiter and your handbook for more details.
