WHY USE TEMPORARY HELP?
Temporary/contract staffing can be tremendously advantageous in terms of payroll cost savings, increased flexibility and improved productivity during seasonal peaks, increased work load, vacations, special projects, maternity, sick leaves and emergencies. A constantly increasing number of companies have discovered the concept of "SMART STAFFING" - the routine, long-term planned use of temporaries to optimize the level of permanent staffing and reduce overall administrative, benefit, overtime and other employment costs. Increased costs of health care and other insurance, when combined with benefit costs, have created an environment in which a reduced number of permanent employees offers substantial savings. This can be achieved by using temporaries selectively and effectively as an alternative. Having a specific "SMART STAFFING" Plan will have a positive effect on your bottom line.
- Nine out of ten companies use temporary/contract staffing.
- On any given day, over one million people work as temporaries in the United States.
Savings/Profits
Proper use of temporary help as a supplement to permanent staff reduces recruiting, hiring, training, employee turnover, overtime, absenteeism and benefits expenses. A permanent employee costs approximately an additional 42% in benefit and other expenses over base salary.
The temporary help service charges only for the actual time worked, pays the temporary and assumes full responsibility for all payroll taxes, social security, workers' compensation and unemployment insurance. |
