Description of service

This service is for five temporary employees to work for one day, all day, eight hours paid at $17.00 an hour for each employee. The total cost for the day was $680 total. I opened a new clothing store at a local mall, and have done so several times, and we use the employees to preform manual labor on putting up new signs, building racks and things like that. I can designate the time, which I had everyone start at 7:00AM and leave at 4:00PM with an unpaid lunch hour in between.


Review of Service

The service is good, I pay the temporary worker office and they in return pay their employees so I don't have to claim them as workers, rather I paid for a service and the taxes were included in the $17 an hour I paid. I believe I paid the office a lot more than they paid their employees. The employees they send aren't usually the friendliest bunch, but they get the job done.


Tips

There are a bunch of temporary labor offices around my city and chances are there is several close to you. Call around and see which one is the cheapest, unless you need skilled labor then you may want to ask around and see who can offer the best employees.
