Staffing Agreements: What Employers and Agencies Should Clarify Before Work Starts

Agreements prevent expensive confusion.

Staffing relationships involve pay, bill rates, time approval, conversion, replacements, safety, confidentiality, and worker expectations. These should not be improvised after a problem.

Service model matters.

Temporary staffing, temp-to-hire, direct hire, and project crews have different pricing and obligations.

Timesheets need rules.

Who approves hours, when they approve, and how disputes are handled should be defined before workers start.

Conversion terms should be explicit.

If a client hires a temporary worker permanently, conversion rules should already be in writing.

Government flow-downs require review.

Prime and government scopes may include clauses and requirements that cannot be casually accepted.

Counsel should review final documents.
