FAQs

1. I've never worked as a temporary before, how does it work?
   UNITEMP is primarily a temporary service, so our assignments are predominantly temporary in nature. We require all of our employees to have a minimum of two years of office experience.
   
   You will need to come to our office to apply in person. At that time, you will complete an application, interview, evaluations on the computer, as well as an orientation. During your interview we will discuss your work history, software knowledge and availability. When you come in, you need to bring a copy of your resume and two forms of ID to complete the government required I9 form.
   
   
2. Do I have to accept an assignment?
   When we offer you an assignment, if you are not confident that you can commit, or don't feel comfortable with the skills needed or geographic area, just tell us and we will consider you for the next assignment.
   
   
3. Do you charge me a fee?
   You are never charged a fee. The only withholdings from your salary are taxes as mandated by the state and federal governments as related to your W-4 information.
   
   
4. Do you have benefits?
   UNITEMP temporaries have work-hour bonuses, vacation pay, an available medical insurance plan, as well as the ability to participate in our 401K savings plan. When you apply, the benefits package will be explained in further detail during your orientation.
   
   
5. Is there any possibility that I would be hired full time by your customer?
   There are occasions when our temporaries have been hired full time by our customers, but this is not a given. Being hired is basically a chance probability because the temporary happens to be at the right place at the right time. There is no guarantee of being hired, nor is there a guarantee as to the length of an assignment.
   
   
6. Can I work for you and other temporary services at the same time?
   The answer is yes. If we offer you an assignment and you accept, we expect you will fulfill your commitment to UNITEMP and our customer. If you are not on an assignment, and another service offers you work, you certainly are free to accept. If you are on assignment for UNITEMP, we would expect you are not going to leave your assignment for a different temporary assignment with another service. We work on the trust factor and expect you will too.
   
   
7. How do I get paid?
   As a UNITEMP temporary employee you will be paid on an hourly basis each week. Upon completion and receipt of a signed timesheet, you are paid the week following the work performed. Pay rates are based upon the job description and skills needed to do the job.
