people have experienced the contract staffing benefits in various ways
Projects that drain the time and energies of current employees, adding to their already heavy workload.
A project or job is temporary in nature and the internal resources are not available to get it done. Why hire a person for six months and then have to let them go?
When the in house expertise needed does not exist. Many companies need a specific skill for a short period of time, after which their own staff can take over.
The flexibility of using the contractor only when needed.
One invoice covers all related expenses. All payroll costs are included in the one bill rate and associated invoice. There are not additional expenses for holidays, vacation, sick time, FICA, SUTA, FUTA, general liability, worker's compensation, or any other benefits.
If a project falls behind schedule or your project deadlines are quickly approaching, contract staffing can give you the boost you need to push it through to the end.
Quick turnaround. PeopleSolutions' goal is to have a qualified candidate screened and ready for employment within 48 hours.
Contract employees can be used when there is a direct hiring freeze. There are times when direct employees can't be hired under any circumstances. However, the work still has to be done.
Contract to Direct Hires. This is an excellent way for a company to try someone out to make sure they are a fit. It is also a good way for an employee to try out a company as well. This prevents long term commitments from becoming short ones.
Replacement for key employees during an emergency leave of absence. This would include extended illnesses, pregnancies, etc.
The cost of a contract employee can be expensed directly to a project as opposed to being charged as overhead to a department. Although nothing more than an accounting allocation, this becomes very important when a company needs to closely adhere to budgets.
Avoiding Department of Labor problems with independent contractors. Hiring independent contractors normally borders on being illegal. There are many tests that the Internal Revenue Service and Department of Labor use to determine employment status, and most independent contractors do not pass. There are fines, which can accompany these violations as well.
A method of providing training to inexperienced employees. Most seasoned contract employees have been around the block a few times and are a wealth of knowledge. Client companies can use the services of a contract employee to provide training.
