Introduction To the Unity Network

What we are:

• We are a non-partisan, non-special interest, grass roots, community glocal based network, with a variety of programs, projects, and organizations. As we are just launching our systems, everything is currently available in english, but eventually we will expand to other languages. The centerpiece of the Unity Network is a 501c3 non-profit organization called CLN based in California, our not-for-profit branch is called BJC, and our governance branch is called GEP, and the personal branch is J.

Our Purpose:

• Our primary purpose as a broad network, is to set up and coordinate a Community Elections system that alows the public to input projects and issues, prioritize them as a community, and help fundrase, staff, and support the projects to actualize them. Through the elections we will develop our focus as a network, and overtime that focus can change depending on the outcome of future elections. Most workers, including yourself, will never actually work on running the Community Elections system, but instead will be involved within one of the many projects we are working on. As our focus develops, most of us will be working on our top supported projects determined by the elections. Everyone gets participate in the elections, and you will be notified.

Long Term Goal:

• Our long term goal is to help raise funds to support a vareity of projects that build collaboration between movements from across the world to benefit humanity. We call this Social Entreprenureship. Our processes are targeted at making all of our systems and programs accessible to the the most number of people possible. This means that most of our work takes place online, and we specialize in the fast one second click voting, the 5 minute meeting, and the 1 hour campaign launch.

Our Processes:

• Everything we do is structured and systemic to create efficient and effective processes that can synchronize with the way our current society functions, which is fast and busy. All of our worker positions are organized into doing simple tasks that can be done in less than 1 hour so that anyone with a free hour can get involved. For people who can volunteer or be paid to work for more hours, you will have to take on multiple tasks or positions.

Our Work Schedule:

• Our current structure consists of a one week active session per month where we pay people, and the rest of the month is volunteer only. People who are paid cannot also volunteer in most instances.

Alternative Economics

• Within our network we have a few startups and we use alternative economic systems for our commerce, including; 'Choose your own price', 'Chose your own pay rate', and Community Equity. We give everyone equity in our startups regardless of what program or project you are helping out with. We will give more info on our equity system in just a bit.

Communication Processes

Email

• The primary way to communicate with our network at this point in time is email. For any questions, issues, concerns, ideas etc... just email: hr@heeo.in
• Also you will want to get on the worker updates email list which is where we send out general work and task opportunities. You will also be added to other email lists later that are specific to the project(s) you are working on.

Set Up Worker Reporting Pads

• The first step to becoming a worker in our network is to set up your Worker Reporting Pads. All of our systems are built to be self organizing, so you will need to take the initiative to get yourself set up in our system. This is quite easy, but you will need a computer with internet connection for most of the work that you do with us. This should only take 10-15min.

Updating you Pay Rate, Equity Set Up, & Understanding Lowest Bidder

You should have already chosen a Fair Pay Rate, and your Lowest Actual Pay Rate. Your Equity is calculated from the difference. As a starting point, we use this for all the work that you do, but at anytime you are welcome to update your Pay Rate and Equity Status with us. This can included different rates for different types of positions and tasks. Pay Rate and Equity Status changes should be done by email to hr@heeo.in, and once there is agreement by email, you need to let us know you want to change it , and get confirmation from us, before it goes into effect. Our selection process goes to the lowest bidder who is able to complete the work, so do choose rates that reflect a small start up community organization if you want a lot of work. You get 3 weeks of approved work within our network with just a simple email agreement. Three weeks within our one week per month paid schedule would equal three months of a calendar year. Before that time, you will need to be approved by the HR Board, and create and sign an official contract with us to continue working. Once you have created and signed a contract, you can change it as needed, but it will need to be re-approved by the HR Board again before it comes into effect.
