SLC takes the lead in the bidding process by developing and submitting the proposal, with your input and concurrence, and provides support in executing duties, to include training if required. With our established presence in the System for Award Management (SAM) we also take care of the invoicing and reporting requirements. Our compensation is competitive and dependent on the amount awarded by the contract; SLC retains a small percentage to cover administrative expenses.
SLC’s business model gives team members great flexibility to monitor opportunities as they become available, and then choosing short-term through multi-year contracts, part-time to full-time positions, how much to be reimbursed (cognizant of the risk of bidding yourself out of a market), and availability for work – all of which can complement other life opportunities members may be engaged in. We look for opportunities across the country and overseas, so members may live anywhere, especially with the distance education jobs that SLC often pursues.
SLC’s deep pool of talent enables us to assemble diverse teams of experts tailored to succeed at particular tasks with only short notice, or to offer a single individual expert well suited to a task. SLC is eager to try new opportunities and will collaborate with its members to pursue something that a member identified as interesting.
Depending on the contractual requirements, team members are “hired” as subcontractors. As subcontractors, instructors are personally responsible for all self-employment taxes and local, state, and federal income taxes.
