## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* An active Righthand account with admin or manager access
* At least one team member to assign as the Righthand's manager

  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a work schedule">
    Choose a pricing tier based on how much you need your Righthand to do:

    * **Part-Time** — Best for targeted tasks and overflow support. Your Righthand responds when called upon.
    * **Full-Time** — A dedicated team member that proactively handles their full role with enhanced intelligence.
    * **Over-Time** — Maximum output with 24/7 availability, advanced reasoning, and priority processing for your most demanding workflows.
