Temporary/contract employees are hired to assist employers to meet business demands yet allow the employer to avoid the cost of hiring a regular employee.  Sometimes, it is the expectation of the employer that if the temporary employee is successful, the temporary employee will be hired.

Most frequently, though, hiring temporary/contract employees serves a business purpose for the company.  Business purposes include; seasonal customer demand, temporary surges in manufacturing orders, employees on sick or maternity leave, and short-term, clearly defined work such as a new initiative or special project.

Temporary/contract employees can work part or full-time.  A temporary/contract assignment can be for one day or an indefinite period of time and can end at any time depending on the employer’s needs.  In other ways, temporary/contract employees are often treated like regular employees and attend company meetings and events.

At Staffing Solutions, Inc., all candidates go through comprehensive testing based on the type of position they are being considered for. We have developed a customized testing protocol for each job family, which includes the administration of the Rembrandt Portrait® personality profile.

Bill rates are based upon the hourly pay rate of the temporary/contract employee. In addition, we include the cost of all employers’ responsible taxes, including SUTA, FUTA, workers compensation, unemployment insurance, and ACA coverage. In addition, we add a marginal amount to this base to cover all administrative expenses. Unlike the “freelancer,” the agency is responsible for being the employer of record.

Should one of our temporary/contract workers obtain full-time employment while on a continuing assignment, the Staffing Solutions Inc. team requires a reasonable notice period to allow us to replace them with an acceptable contract employee.
