Hey Suzie: What About Service Contracting ?
Hello everyone,
Great question. It does have many advantages.
Read on:
Because of the infrequency of the need or the specialized nature of the work, many business needs are better met by contracting for the service rather than hiring permanent employees.

Services often contracted include:

Security
Janitorial
Waste management
Equipment/mechanical maintenance
Merchandise delivery
Payroll accounting
Printing
Data processing
Messenger
Grounds upkeep
Interior decorating
Building upkeep (remodeling, roofing, painting)
Specialized services (installation, servicing and cleaning of appliances, carpeting, and furniture

More on service contracting coming tomorrow.

Disadvantages: Professional Employer Organizations
Employer retains responsibility for productivity and conduct.

Certain labor union contracts or state laws might keep certain employers from using co-employment arrangements.

Co-employers require the value of one full payroll in an escrow or trust account in addition to regular payroll costs.

Additional federal protections be available to workers as part of the PEO’s large labor force that is co-employed by multiple small businesses.

This can impose new requirements and costs on the small business.

Lots to think about. Best wishes in your business operations.

Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) or Co-employment
In a professional employer organization arrangement, the PEO will co-employ your existing work force and will become a legal employer responsible for payroll, record-keeping, benefits and services, and participation in hiring, evaluation and firing. In the PEO arrangement, employer responsibilities are shared or allocated, with the PEO focusing on the management of human resources, employee benefits, payroll, workers’ compensation and related employment-related issues, while you focus on the core operations of your business.

The advantages.

Employee Leasing
Sometimes this concept can be confusing because it refer to activities similar to employing temporary personnel or it be similar to the co-employment arrangement of professional employer organizations.

If you are depending upon the leasing company to provide personnel, (including identifying, skill sorting, hiring and assigning them to your business) and these workers would return to the leasing company for reassignment should your need for them end, then the service is basically the same as temporary services.

If, on the other hand, you are depending upon another company to supply the management of human resources, employee benefits, payroll and workers’ compensation for all of your work force, then this is a co-employment or professional employer organization arrangement.

Bye for now.

Are Temporary Help Services Appropriate for all Businesses ?
Temporary help services are not appropriate for all needs.
Businesses needing a temporary worker for six months or longer should hire a full-time employee.

For jobs that require extensive supervision, it be cheaper to pay overtime to a regular employee than to use a temporary worker.

Hope that sheds some important light.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Temporary Personnel Services - Quality Control
Quality control:
Does the company check the quality of work of its temporary employees?
A temporary service will ask for information about the department the employee will be working in, duration of the assignment, working hours, dress code, smoking rules, and other important information.

If possible, send samples of the work. Be sure to give the exact location of your business, transportation available, parking information, and the name and title of the person to whom the temporary employee will report.

Thanks for dropping by.

Evaluating Temporary Personnel Services
Evaluate temporary personnel services using these factors:

Reliability: Is the service well established, with a history of success and financial stability?

Recruiting: The firm with an aggressive recruiting program is more likely to have the most skilled and reliable employees.

Testing and evaluation: How does it test and evaluate personnel?

Training programs: Does the company train personnel in modern office methods, word processing, records management, and other important skills?

Tomorrow:
Quality Control.

Temporary Help Services
Most businesses need extra help sometimes, and temporary shortages are especially difficult for smaller businesses.

A temporary personnel service hires employees and assigns them to companies requesting help. The service is responsible for payroll, bookkeeping, tax deductions, workers' compensation, fringe benefits, and all other employee costs.

Most national temporary personnel companies also offer performance guarantees and fidelity bonding at no added cost.

Workers supplied by a temporary service firm are quickly available. Usually they can start the day after a request is made, and sometimes the same day.

Although the rate paid to a temporary service firm is higher than that paid to a permanent employee, the costs of recruiting, record-keeping, training, overtime, and idle periods are much less.
