I've had a lot of people ask me recently about phone jobs from home where it's possible to work night shift. This is a big deal to some of you because working in the middle of the night, or a later shift, might be the only work from home option (at least for phone jobs) due to kids being up and about during the day, a job you work during daytime hours, etc.
I'll be honest that what I've found offering overnight hours isn't much, but I thought it might be a good idea regardless to get a list together and start adding to it every time I come across something that fits the bill. I've also included a few that offer evening hours.
As of now, the list is fairly short. Some of these may be part time jobs from home while others are full time.
Overnight Work at Home Jobs
LiveOps
This is a company that offers very flexible scheduling, and a lot of people who are new to phone work from home get started here.
It's possible to schedule yourself in blocks of time as short as 30 minutes, and getting middle of the night hours may be possible since you are very much in control of your own schedule. However, a reader has let us know that they most often contract between the hours of 9am and 9pm.
However, people who have worked for Live Ops frequently complain about low call volume. With LiveOps, you're only getting paid if you're on a call, so low call volume can be a major problem. This is an independent contractor position, US only.

Alorica
Like LiveOps, Alorica lets you set your own hours so it may be possible to work in the middle of the night for them. If you can't get overnight hours, you should still be able to frequently get evening shift.
The amount you earn with Alorica depends on which client you are handling calls for. Some are per minute, some are per call, and some are hourly rate.
You will always be guaranteed at least whatever minimum wage is in your state. This is an advantage since some clients are only pay per minute of talk time.
As I mentioned with LiveOps above, low call volume could really hurt your earnings in those cases, so it's nice that Alorica will guarantee you at least minimum wage no matter what. Also, this company hires you as an employee, not an independent contractor.
Alorica hires agents in the US only and may also be limited to certain states.

NexRep
NexRep is a home call center you can work for that operates 24/7, so it's possible to work overnight here. You do have to commit to at least 15 hours per week and you can't work less than 2 hours at a time.
While overnight hours may not always be an option, you should usually be able to get evening shift. A reader has let us know that they usually contract between the hours of 9am and 9pm
If you're doing inbound calls, the pay will most likely be either commission only or per minute of talk time. I've read that the outbound positions are also commission only, but there may be a base pay, too.
You work for NexRep as an independent contractor, not an employee.
They only hire people who are in the US.

U-Haul
Occasionally U-Haul will have a work from home emergency roadside assistance position posted, and this one does have middle of the night hours available. U-Haul offers emergency roadside service 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
This one *may* require that you work at least part of the time in their contact center in Phoenix, AZ or possibly train there before working at home. I've found conflicting information on this, so if some of you happen to know, I'd appreciate some clarification.
Note that the job isn't always posted. U-Haul has other work from home openings regularly, but these do not offer overnight hours.
This is a US only employee position, and the current listing requires that you are bilingual Spanish/English. However, keep tabs on their openings because sometimes they have this position listed without that requirement.

Transcom
Someone left a comment below stating that Cloud 10/Transcom has had some tech support projects in the past where overnight hours are a possibility. This is a company that hires you as an employee and pays you hourly (starting at around $17 hourly).
Once your schedule is in place, it's pretty much set, so it would be best if you could start off with overnight hours. Of course that may not be possible.

Ginger.io
This is a company that hires people with counseling/therapy experience and certification to communicate mostly via text with people who are in need of these services. Note it is not a suicide or crisis hotline.
Because Ginger.io operates 24/7, you may be able to arrange it so you are working in the evening or overnight.
Your pay varies depending on the specific job you're doing, but in most cases you should earn well over $15 hourly.

Apple
You can work at home as an Apple At Home Advisor and provide support for people with Apple products. Because this is a a major company with millions and millions of customers, they do need to provide round the clock support. And this means that working night shift may be an option for you if you're lucky enough to get hired.
Another bonus with Apple is that these positions are often chat-based (non-phone work from home), so it could be ideal if you're in a situation where talking on the phone isn't possible for you due to children at home or loud pets.

American Express
American Express is regularly hiring work at home travel counselors to advise and arrange travel for corporate business customers (both individuals and groups).
The travel care unit with American Express is a 24/7 operation, so it should be possible for you to work night and/or evening hours. However, their job posting does state that in addition to that, you must be flexible and occasionally willing to accept other hours.
This is a full-time role paying between $17 and $29 hourly.

Love the info you provide!
Thank you!
There are very few hours at LiveOPs…you will spend 65 dollars to get a background check, you will have to reconfigure your java , you will pass all your certification and be placed in Incoming Sales for the first 90 days. That means you wont have access to the Schedule roll out on Wednesday Morning at 9 am EST. You will only have Access to Thursday and Friday roll out . I picked up a total of 5 hours. Unlike Early General , General and Direct Response, you cant just hop on the phone and take calls if you are not committed while on Incoming Sales. I was at all the roll outs . THEY DONT TELL YOU THAT. After 90 days , you will have access to Early General , General and Direct Response in which you can have access to Wednesday , Thursday and Friday Roll out Schedule and if you dont happen to get any open blocks , you can hop on the line and see if you get any calls without any commits. You will receive the calls according to your rating but those with commits will get the calls first according to their rating. So be forewarned if you need to pay the rent, this is not going to do it for the more then 120 days perhaps longer. I really have a problem with companies that claim to care about their contractors but they dont tell you of how it is going to be . Keep in mind that that you are suppose be ” your own boss and run your business! ” How can you run a business when you are being micro managed and you do not have full access to the schedule ?
If you a technology oriented person, and can handle Tech Support work. Google Sitel, they do Tech Support for Best buy ( Geek Squad ). I did this at thier local call center for 2 years, then went to Telecommute about 3 years ago. I make $17.70 a hour, and you pick hours in 4 hour blocks. HOPE this helps someone.
I applied at Ginger.io because I have the education regarding their job posting requirements, but I never heard back from them. I would like to find a good work from home opportunity in the psychology/counseling realm. Online therapy and counseling is becoming more popular these days.
I worked for HSN for 4 years during the night. It was a great job! It was not your typical customer service job with a lot of angry customers. Most customers were very pleasant older women that shop regularly. It was a great job! I highly recommend if you live within the hiring area!
HSN Sales hires overnight. You have to be in a specific areas to apply but it’s good pay and a good place to work.
Thanks, Melida! I will get it added.
Does anyone know of any night jobs chatting I’m hearing impaired and came across the idea that be a chat representative would be great. Ideal. Finding a job is getting harder day by day.
Thanks for the extra info, Julienne. I appreciate it!
I’m pretty sure Teletech has nightshift hours. I wasn’t hired but during the application process they had selection times for all hours of the night.
HSN – Home shopping network sales positions are work from home and have overnight hours, but they only hire in certain areas. Pay is fantastic for the kind of work that it is. They are hiring now.
Support.com offers night shift during shift bids sometimes.
Do you know if the shifts are Monday – Friday? And if the pay is decent for a level 2 tech?
Thanks for your help
I know that this company is 24/7 and you are a independent contractor so you will be able to work anytime you like. The site is http://www.directinteractions.com
Does anyone know with Liveops they say (no wireless phones), but will they know if you use a wireless Plantronics Calisto pro? You’re notified that you have a voip or satellite line and will not work properly, but will they know if your phone is hooked up to a landline, but is a wireless phone? Thanks!
I don’t know if they’d be able to tell or not (quite honestly I doubt they’d be able to unless there’s a bad connection/get feedback on the line) but the whole reason they don’t want you to use a wireless connection (for phone or computer) is ‘cuz you’re taking orders for items & getting customer’s credit card info. and if you use a wireless connection there’s a chance that info. can be stolen, whereas with wired equipment it’s more secure. I’m not sure I worded that all correctly, but I’m hoping you get the gist of what I’m trying to say.
I know that Cloud 10 has had some projects in the past that offered overnight shifts. I personally worked on that got off at 3am. I hope that helps.
Thanks Michelle!
Great article, Anna! Yes, sometimes when juggling so many things (college, kids, home), the night shift is the only hope.
