Definition of Temporary Employment

 

Different industries refer to a temporary position in different ways.  You may hear it referred to as ‘contracting’, ‘casual work’, or ‘freelancing’ to name a few.  In general terms, a temporary employee is someone who works for a company on a non-fixed term basis.  The employee’s salary is usually calculated on an hourly or daily rate and is paid through Access HR’s payroll.  Three hours notice period is required to terminate temporary employment by either party.

Why Employ Temporary Employees?

 

While the concept of hiring outside employees for a specific assignment has been around for years, there are many new reasons to contract with Access HR.  Unlike short term direct employees, temporary  personnel work for us.  As a consequence, when you use temporary staff instead of direct hires, all costs associated with processing and administering payroll and benefits are transferred from your company to the staffing firm.  This strategy assists you to control cost, improve production and manage risk. 

Benefits to Employing Temporary Employees

1.                  Employing professional temporary employees can assist with improving operating margins in your business, by ensuring effective staffing to maximize profitability.

2.                  Temporary staff enables businesses to be more responsive to fluctuations in workload by providing cover for temporary absences.

3.                  Hiring the wrong person can cost a tremendous amount of money.  At Access HR all candidates that register either for permanent or temporary work are rigorously screened, increasing your chances of getting the right candidate.  Not only do we provide candidates that possess the skills and experience you require, but also have the personality traits needed to flourish in your work setting.

4.                  Training is another expense that affects your bottom line, not only in dollars, but in lower productivity and poorer quality that result from employing inexperienced staff. By working closely with Access HR we can give you access to candidates who are well trained and have experience in the skills your company needs.
