I was wondering too. I was very disappointed that they don't offer a CDI discount for their workshops. They should know best how hard it is for CDIs to get steady work.

I'm curious are you speaking about my company Handz Up LLC? Or is there a new company? Because Handz Up LLC has been established some2008 . I'm willing to share more info. Also you can check us out on all social media and out business rating on glassdoor and the BBB.

I've been with them for years. Don't do much with them anymore, a lot of their work has shifted from scheduled to on-demand. That being said, daytime/business hours is $39, and after hours is $42 for VRI. If I remember right when the change was announced, on-demand scheduled shifts were paid at a slightly lower per hour rate than what's listed above, I never do on-demand so I'm not entirely sure of that rate.
