No! We are not a temp agency. We are a marketplace platform for dental offices and dental professionals to contract directly with each other for fulfillment of shifts. Since we have simplified the process and replaced the traditional agencies with algorithms, TempMee’s platform connects dental professionals with offices that want to put their valuable skills to work!

Yes, you must have an active license for the position you are interested in working and be in good standing with no derogatory marks.

Download TempMee from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and complete the sign-up process (TempMee.com/app). Once completed, your account will be verified within 24 hours and you’ll be able to start applying to shifts.

If you accept a shift that turns out to be with an office that you would prefer not to work with, please cancel the shift immediately through the app. All professionals are afforded a 20 minute no questions asked grace period for this exact purpose. Any time you cancel a shift, we encourage you to reach out to TempMee Support at 786-460-2170 to discuss blocking the office and ensuring you maintain full platform access.

TempMee is committed to protecting the privacy of the digital community. Once the shift is confirmed, you will be able to access the dental office’s information.

Accepting a shift is a commitment. The office and its patients are counting on you, so you should not accept a shift unless you are certain you can be there. Canceled shifts are taken seriously. If you do need to cancel a shift, you should do so through the app as soon as possible so the office has time to repost it.

  • Canceling two or more shifts in a three-month timeframe will result in your account being temporarily blocked. This is to ensure the most optimal conditions for everyone in the TempMee community.
  • Any “no call, no show” will immediately result in restrictions being placed on your account. Continued “no call, no shows” will result in your account being blocked indefinitely. If you need to cancel a shift with a start time within 24 hours, please text or call our customer support team to prevent getting permanently blocked.
  • Failure to cancel a shift more than 24 hours in advance will result in a 1-star rating on your account.

TempMee offers dental professionals two payment options:

  1. Direct deposit: Dental professionals must have their bank account or debit card number on file for TempMee to successfully process payments. 24 hours after the shift has been completed TempMee will pay you via direct deposit. Once TempMee issues payment, it may take your bank 2-3 business days to process the direct deposit.
  2. Express pay: Dental professionals must have a debit card information on file and set as your default payment in order for TempMee to successfully issue an express payout. Once an office confirms the hours worked, or 24 hours have passed since the shift was completed (whichever comes first) payment will be issued and be available within 2 to 3 hours.

Example of Payout Schedule:

Day Worked Pay Released Estimated Arrival
Monday Tuesday Thursday-Friday
Tuesday Wednesday Friday-Saturday
Wednesday Thursday Saturday-Monday
Thursday Friday Monday-Tuesday
Friday Saturday Tuesday-Wednesday
Saturday Monday Wednesday-Thursday

* Pay is released 24 hours after completing a shift. Adjustments must be requested within that time.

* Adjustments may delay payout by an additional 24 hours.

* This schedule may vary due to bank holidays.

No, as an independent contractor, taxes are not withheld from your pay. There are many misconceptions about independent contractors in dentistry. With TempMee, our professionals choose their own days, hours, offices, and rate which satisfies the IRS requirements for being an independent contractor.

Taxes will be paid when you submit your tax return information and will not conflict with any W2 earnings from an office you work with directly.

TempMee provides credential management services by verifying your license and identification as part of creating your account. This requires a driver’s license or other state-approved ID, including passports.

We do this to provide the highest level of safety, protection, and professionalism to the dental offices contracting with independent contractors on the platform. No one but our verification team sees your ID.

Photos are not required, but they do help dental offices prepare for your arrival and know who to expect. Your photo will not be shared with the dental office until after you have accepted the shift.

No, you are not required to enter payment/bank info to create your account. However, to collect your payment after a completed shift, you will need to enter your bank info as all payments through the TempMee platform are completed electronically.

Absolutely! If you choose to accept an employment offer, please let us know so we can update our records (call or text 786‐460‐2170). We also offer reverse recruiting services if you’re interested in part‐time or full‐time opportunities in your area!

Your home address is the location in which you work and live. Other locations are additional areas where you’d like to see available shifts. You can add multiple locations to increase the number of offers you can see and accept.

If the rate posted by a dental office does not match your standard working rate, you are encouraged to counter the offer by selecting the orange arrow on the job post and requesting your standard rate. The office can accept or reject your counter.

You can set a custom radius for how far you are willing to travel, up to 25 miles from your home address. If you would like to set a larger radius, you can add new territories or reach out to TempMee support for assistance.

Dental offices generally confirm shifts or counter offers within 5 hours. If a shift is pending for more than 24 hours, you can contact TempMee support to have the shift canceled without penalty.

  • Things happen and sometimes an office needs to cancel. How much a dental professional is paid for the cancelation depends on when the office cancels, as outlined below.
  • If a shift is canceled between 100 days – 73 hours before a shift, the office can cancel, but will not be refunded the TempMee Booking Fee that was charged upon confirmation.
  • If a shift is canceled between 25 and 72 hours before the shift, the office will be charged 25% of the dental professional’s pay. The dental professional will then be paid that amount for the inconvenience.
  • If a shift is canceled between less than 24 hours before the shift, the office will be charged 100% of the dental professional’s pay. The dental professional will then be paid that amount for the inconvenience and the short notice.
  • While TempMee makes every effort to provide pay to the dental professional in the event of a dental office cancelation, TempMee reserves the right to waive this payment if the cancelation is determined to be the result of a catastrophic event or force of nature.
  • If a dental professional leaves a confirmed shift early, they will only be paid for the time spent at the dental office.
  • If a dental office cancels your shift within 72 hours of the shift and you confirm a new shift for lower pay, you will be paid the higher amount.

Any shift adjustments should be made in the app and within 24 hours of the shift ending. After your shift is completed, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your TempMee account
  2. Once logged in, you’ll see a screen with the following options:
    • Rate the office
    • Adjust Hours
    • Confirm Hours
  3. Click on the “Adjust Hours” button to submit your adjusted hours

This process will prompt us to reach out to the office to confirm the hours you’ve adjusted.
