Q. I recently laid off many employees due to a slowing economy and lack of business. The economy seems to be improving and I am thinking about bringing some employees back before they go to work somewhere else, but I don't want to look another employee in the eye and lay them off again, if the recovery isn't sustained.
In these uncertain economic times bringing a laid off employee back and having to lay them off again is a real possibility.
Why not bring them back through ProTemps Staffing Solutions?We will hire them and send them to work for your company. You may only need them part time, but this way you still get the benefit of their training. This creates a real win-win. Your employee gets to come back to work without you committing to a long-term arrangement. When you are comfortable that you want them back on your payroll, we can release them to you.

Q. I need more staff, but I hate to go through the hiring process; running an ad, culling through the many applications, interviewing prospects and hiring for a probation period only to find they don't work out. Then I have to start the process again.
This is one of the most popular reasons companies use ProTemps. We will run the ad, triage the applications, do the background checks, test the employees for skills and aptitude, hire the individual(s) and send them to work for you on a temporary basis.
After you are certain you want them on your payroll as your employee, we can release the employee to work directly for you. If you are interested in this service, we will provide the details.

Q. How can I save money on insurance by using employees from ProTemps?
If your business is seasonal, or expands and contracts with outside contracts or available work; your unemployment insurance rates can go up with employee turnover due to temporary lay-offs. If your employees are injured on the job your workman's compensation insurance rates will go up.
When you use ProTemps, your employees are insured by our workman's compensation and unemployment insurance, protecting your rates. This is one reason companies with production shift work often use temporary workers instead of full time hires.

Q. When staff members are out sick or on vacation my company's production suffers.
Often companies have to carry extra staff to compensate for vacations and illnesses. Why incur this expense when you can fill the slot with a temporary worker? That is one reason so many large companies use temporary staffing services.
Contact ProTemps to learn more.
Q. Why should I hire temporary workers? Aren't they just failures who can't get a job on their own?
Nothing could be further from the truth. We screen our workers so you only get the best. Many workers use temporary staffing agencies to expose themselves to multiple job opportunities; allowing them to experience different work environments before making a career decision. Some are retirees with lots of experience, looking for part time work for personal fulfillment.
Many of our workers move from temporary to full time employment with our clients. The worker gets to audition the company while the company 'test drives' the worker. We pride ourselves on matching the right employee to the right job.

Q. Why shouldn't I just hire the workers myself and put them on my payroll? After all, you just find them and mark up the labor cost.
It is true that we mark up the labor cost. That is where our profit is. Our surprisingly low markup includes workman's compensation and unemployment insurance. We take care of all taxes, social security and reporting requirements.
When you consider the true cost of an employee and the cost of time invested by your human resources department or management in recruiting, screening, interviewing, hiring, maintenance of employee records, tax remittance and reporting, accrued vacation cost, unemployment and workers compensation insurance along with other benefits like health insurance and cafeteria plans; you would be surprised how little it costs to use ProTemps by comparison. Most clients tell us it is often less expensive to use a temporary worker, or to use full time employees through ProTemps Staffing Solutions.

Q. Sometimes I need to hire someone "under the radar". Can ProTemps Help?
You bet we can. We will advertise for the position, perform the pre-screening including background and reference checks, and interviews. No one needs to know the employer until the job offer is extended. Your employees will never know you are looking for a new or replacement staff member until you're ready to announce it.

Q. I have retirees that I want to bring back part time to help, but it is so expensive to put them on my payroll with all the benefits. Besides, Corporate does not want to see payroll expanded. Can ProTemps help?
This is one of our more popular services. We can hire your retirees and send them to work for you at the rate of pay you dictate, but on our payroll and insurance. The mark up is minimal and this strategy will surely save you money.
Contact ProTemps to learn more.
Q. I heard that some of your laborers are Hispanic or immigrants. How do I know I am hiring legal workers?
ProTemps makes every effort to screen employees to make sure they have the legal right to live and work in this country. This liability falls on us as because we are their employer.
Contact ProTemps to learn more.
Q. I have had trouble with other staffing agencies when it comes to laborers showing up for work.
ProTemps learned this lesson long ago. That is why we offer transportation for our workers. Our vans depart early in the morning to pick up workers and deliver them to your workplace on time, and pick them up at the end of the day.
