So you need some help in your company. But you also need the help for only a short while. You certainly don’t want to spend a fortune on temporary workers. This is why staffing agencies are there. They provide staff that will meet your requirements while offering competitive pricing for their services. Agency staff are people who want to work on a temporary basis (for whatever reason), or they could also be workers who are unable to find permanent employment and are filling these positions until they find a full-time position. Staffing Agency a Quick & Effective Way of Recruitment It is important to remember that agency staff doesn’t become your employees – they merely work through the staffing agency in your company. You won’t be responsible for their salaries or any statutory taxes and fees that may be payable. As a company, the agency will bill you based on the amount of hours that your temps worked in the preceding week. The agency will usually bill you on a weekly basis, but there could be exceptions depending on what your agreement with the agency determines. Obtaining agency staff is a fairly easy process. It is advisable to have an agreement in place beforehand, but if not, arrange a meeting with a representative of the agency and get an agreement in place. This will determine how much you will pay as well as payment intervals. It will also stipulate what the agency’s responsibilities are, as well as your commitments as the client. No Costly Advertisement require to get a staff from a Staffing Agency When the day arrives that you need temps, you contact your agency representative and ‘place an order’. Very often the agency will require an e-mail or a fax from you to confirm the ‘order’. You will need to confirm the position that you have available, the duration of the assignment as well as the skills required. This will help the agency place the right temp with your company. If you want a specific temp to come back, you can put that on your ‘order ‘ as well. This looks good on the temp’s working record with the staffing agency and will ensure that s/he gets preference for future jobs. Recruitment with Staffing Agency – Peace of Mind Once the assignment has started, the agency will normally call you from time to time to check on the progress of the temp. This is their way of offering client service as well as making sure that any complaints are addressed immediately. The agency will also stay in contact with the temp to make sure that s/he is happy in the position and feels comfortable in continuing with the assignment. It generally reflects badly on either the company or the temp if there are complaints, but expressing concerns about performance or management will help prevent disputes and bad relations later on. At the end of each week you will be required to sign a timesheet confirming the hours that the temp had worked that week. You invoice for that week will be based on those timesheets and hours. Agency staff can be a very handy way of meeting short-term labour needs. Just make sure that you have a reputable agency.
