The Job Board for Virtual Workers in the

Philippines.

Time Tracker is a software tool we’ve developed to help workers accurately document the hours they report to their employers. It’s a lightweight program compatible with both Apple and PC computers, designed to track work hours and capture periodic screenshots to verify that assigned tasks are being actively worked on. You have full control over when the program runs—it only tracks time while you’re working, and you can pause it whenever you take a break. While not all employers require its use, we highly recommend it for all workers as a way to build trust and transparency.

Yes, you can expect a job interview. It might take place through email, a Skype call, or a video call—depending on what your employer prefers.

Yes, it’s possible, but it can be a bit tricky. We usually recommend focusing on just one employer to ensure quality work and a good working relationship. However, if you're currently working in an office and want to try an online job before making a big change, starting with a part-time role can be a good idea—as long as you can manage the time commitment. It’s also a good idea to be upfront with your employer and make sure they’re comfortable with the arrangement.

No, a college degree isn’t required. You can qualify if you’ve completed a technical course or even if you're a high school graduate with the right skills and experience to work online.

When a job is deactivated, it means the position has already been filled and another applicant has been hired.

It’s really up to you. You can wait for an employer to reach out, but that process may take longer. The quickest way to get hired is to actively apply to multiple jobs that align with your skills and qualifications, and to respond promptly to any inquiries. Focus your efforts on positions that are a strong match for your experience to avoid wasting time on roles where your chances are low.

It’s also beneficial to broaden your search. Think about your core skills and how they might apply to different types of roles. By exploring similar job categories, you increase your opportunities without straying too far from what you're good at.

We have a dedicated team of real people who manually review each profile to maintain accuracy and integrity across the site. While we strive to ensure that all posted information is genuine, some discrepancies may only come to light later. If you're found to have provided false information, you risk being permanently banned from OnlineJobs.ph—so it's important to keep your profile completely honest.

Even if you aren't immediately caught (which is rare), misleading employers with inaccurate skills could lead to frustration and dissatisfaction. In many cases, they may refuse to pay for work that doesn’t meet expectations—or for work that wasn’t completed at all.

To get hired by an employer through Affordable Wages, you'll need to create an AffordableWages.com account. Be sure to fill out your profile with as much detail as possible—the more complete your profile, the better your chances of getting hired.

Once your profile is set up, you can start applying to jobs (which we highly recommend), or you can wait for employers to reach out to you directly.

No, it’s not required—but it can definitely boost your chances of getting hired. The more skills tests you take, the easier it is to show employers that you’re qualified and capable. It’s a great way to stand out and prove your expertise.

Your ID Rating reflects how much verified information you’ve provided to confirm your identity. If you only submit minimal details—even if they’re accurate—your trust score will remain low. To boost your ID Rating, make sure your profile is fully completed: upload your government-issued ID, add a clear photo, list your skills, and provide detailed descriptions of your experience.

The more information you share, the easier it is for employers to trust that you are who you say you are—and the higher your ID Rating will be.

It really depends on your specific role and your employer’s needs.

Common tasks include writing articles, blog posts, forum content, and other forms of written material. You might be updating websites, helping with link building, or handling customer support via email or chat. If you have the skills, you could be programming, designing web pages, or even building full websites. Research and data gathering are also frequently assigned tasks.

The work varies a lot, but the good news is—you’ll be matched with a company that’s looking for your particular skill set. Plus, you’ll probably get the chance to learn new tools and grow your abilities along the way!

We’re here to support both workers and employers when salary disputes arise. Our role is to act as a neutral mediator—listening to both sides and working toward a fair resolution. In most cases, disputes occur when an employer is dissatisfied with the quality of work. The bottom line is simple: when you deliver good work, you get paid.

Our goal is to make Affordable Wages the safest and most trustworthy platform for remote work. In the rare event that an employer refuses to pay for completed work, we will remove them from our platform. Additionally, if the employer has paid us for a subscription, we’ll transfer that payment to the affected worker.

To protect yourself further, you can use our Verify Employer page to confirm whether an employer has a valid and active account before accepting a job offer.

Yes! In fact, working online is a requirement. You won’t be leaving the Philippines to work abroad—we don’t allow job listings that require relocation. Instead, you’ll be working remotely from your home (or possibly an internet café), performing online tasks for international companies.

Most of the jobs involve internet-based work, so a stable connection and basic computer skills are essential.

Not necessarily—but strong English skills will definitely give you an advantage. Most of the employers on the platform are from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and other English-speaking countries. Since all communication will be in English, being able to understand and express yourself well can make the hiring process smoother and help you succeed on the job.

Yes! There are thousands of employers on the platform actively looking to hire people with a wide range of skills. Tens of thousands of workers have already found jobs through Affordable Wages, and it’s rare to find someone who hasn’t been able to land a position. As long as you’re over 18 and legally eligible to work, age is not an issue.

This is not a “business opportunity,” a work-from-home scam, or one of those “get paid to type” schemes.

You won’t be working on commission.

You will never be asked to pay any fees to secure a job.

You won’t be paid based on vague performance metrics or empty promises.

This is a genuine, full-time role with a fixed monthly salary, where you’ll be doing real work that supports an established business.

Honestly, it depends on what you and your boss have agreed on. Usually, you'll get paid either every two weeks or once a month. But if you're starting a new job, it might be a good idea to ask for weekly pay at first, just to be safe while you're still getting to know your new employer.

It really just depends on what you and your employer agree on. Most of the time, people get paid every two weeks or once a month. That said, we suggest asking for weekly pay when you first start out—it's a good way to lower the risk when you're working with someone new.

At Affordable Wages, all payments are made directly from employers to workers—we don’t process salaries or take any cut from wages. The payment method is entirely up to the employer and the worker to decide.

There are several ways to receive payment, and in some cases, you can even have your money delivered right to your home, depending on the service you choose.

Here are some websites where your employer can send money online.

• Easypay
• Payoneer
• PayPal
• Western Union
