As a rule, you'll find that most jobs are called in during the
afternoon hours. With this in mind, it would be wise to have set
procedure for your specialists to call you each afternoon to let
you know where they can be reached through 5:00 p.m. if they are
available for a job assignment the next day. You might want toset a policy of "No call from you - No
assignment for you."
Most temporary help agencies give their workers a supply of a
3-part time card when they're hired by the agency. When the
request for a worker comes in, the most qualified in the required
category is called. Job, name of company, location, approximate
length of job, and salary are all explained. If they agree to
take the offer, they fill in the time card for the day the work
begins. When they report for work, they have the time card signed
by the employer to verify starting time, and finishing time. One
copy of the time card stays with the employer; the temporary
worker keeps a copy; and the other copy is mailed to your office.
Smooth and simple, but make sure you've got everything worked out
before you begin.
Your bookkeeper notes the proper information on the ledger for
that employee, files the time card, and sends a ledger duplicate
to accounting for billing. Of course a reminder call should be
made first, but as a rule, any account that hasn't paid within
thirty days should receive a personal visit. As to the hard-core
delinquent account, no more employees furnished, and a collection
agency to clear up the account will be your policy. You may want
to look into the advantages of selling your accounts receivable to
a factoring company.
Unlike the brokerage type employment agencies, your temporary
help agency will not require licenses other than those required by
any other business in your area. You should, however, bond each
of your employees in order to protect yourself from any possible
liability or other legal entanglements. And of course you'll need
to carry a standard business insurance policy.
That's it, then - the HOW, WHAT, WHY and WHERE - of getting
started with your own profitable temporary help service!
Remember, it takes solid and consistent advertising, earnest
recruiting, and selling. So don't stop or let up until you have
everyone in your area registered, and every possible employer as a
client, aware of your business. It's a big job with lots of
challenging work involved, and you'll need good people to help.
It is worthwhile to search out these people with care, to be sure
you have good, reliable employees - the rewards will be well worth
it! Organize your business for success, and get with it. The
WHEN is NOW!!!
