Being an employer has gotten a lot harder. In 1900 there were two employment laws. In 1980 there were 125. Now there are 2,200 different laws or clauses that employers have to comply with. They now face the Affordable Care Act, workers’ comp, health insurance, paid sick leave and the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). There can be multimillion-dollar penalties for noncompliance. If you do not have an HR Manager, keeping up with constant changes in the law can be very time consuming and
costly. Just in Time Staffing has a full-time Human Resource department.
Just in Time would be the employer of record, and our clients see the true value and time savings of using a staffing firm.
When you employ JIT, we– not you – becomes the temp worker’s employer. We are responsible for and bear the financial burden of recruiting, screening, testing and hiring workers; payroll expenses and paperwork; payroll and withholding taxes; unemployment and workers’ compensation insurance; and any employee benefits they may wish to provide.
Benefits of Working With Just In Time Staffing
One of the biggest benefits of leaving the recruiting to JIT — is improved productivity. By letting our agency recruit, you allow your workers to focus o their efforts of the core functions of your business. You can also use the temporary workers to increase productivity by decreasing burnout that is caused when understaffed.
Many people don’t realize how costly unemployment claims can be when they are running a business. When you see how unemployment claims can affect your bottom line, you start to look for solutions. And that solution is JIT, as we are responsible for the time-consuming paperwork and costs. As our employees don’t work directly for you, the claims are filed against us, not you.
When you hire an employee, you are making a full-time and long-term commitment to that worker. You must cover the employee for vacation time or disability leave, file payroll taxes and run W2’s every year. For some businesses, not making this commitment is easier and more beneficial to their company.
