Common Situations in Today's Business Environment
Contractors have become an integral part of every company's
staffing strategy. Contractors provide the flexibility in staffing
needed to accommodate a changing economy, to handle temporary
increases in workload, to efficiently launch new projects, and
to discover new approaches to problems from industry experts
acting as consultants. Here are a few questions you might want
to ask yourself. Surprisingly, contractors can be the answer.
Do you have a hiring freeze
now that prohibits you from hiring a permanent employee?
Do you have a special project or deadline
that you need to meet?
Do you need to reduce IRS risk associated
with 1099 independent contractors?
Do you want to evaluate a candidate's skills
prior to offering him or her a permanent position?
Do you need workers to keep up with the demand,
but don't want to add to your permanent staff?
Do you want to avoid layoffs and bad press? |
Industry demand for contract staffing is continuing to grow.
Here are some of the most common reasons why companies of all
sizes are using contract staffing services:
1) Staffing Flexibility - Contractors provide
a flexible supply of labor and allow you to effectively match
your workload to your workforce.
2) Budget Constraint Circumvention - Funds
for contractors usually come from a different pool of money.
As a result, your company can use an alternate budget to bring
on contractors and still get the job done even when your firm
is experiencing a budget constraint.
3) Headcount Issues - Even if you have a
current hiring freeze, contractors can become your most feasible
alternative. Many contractors can convert to permanent employees
when and if you desire.
4) End of Assignment Flexibility - When
your requirements diminish, you can easily adjust your labor
supply. No layoffs, bad press, or lasting labor burden.
5) Hire for a Specific Project or Purpose
- Contractors can be hired for a specific purpose or specific
project. Contractors are ideal because they are available
as needed.
6) Immediate Availability - Unlike permanent
employees, contractors are typically available on short notice.
Usually within days of your "announcement of need."
7) Try Before You Buy (Temp-to-Perm) - Contracting
provides an opportunity to "test drive" a potential
permanent hire before you make a long-term commitment.
8) Avoid IRS Scrutiny From 1099 Issues -
In recent years, the IRS has begun to realize the large sums
of potential tax revenue they are losing due to misclassified
1099 independent contractors who should legally be W-2 employees.
The employee tax deductions include: federal and state income
tax, and social security and Medicare. In addition, if Top
Echelon Contracting handles the back-office, we will pay all
of the necessary employer taxes, including social security
and Medicare, federal and state unemployment tax, and workers'
compensation.
Why should you outsource your contract staffing?
Turning Point Inc. utilizes Top Echelon Contracting,
Inc., as its full service "back-office." Turning Point
Inc. is considered to be the "front-office"
and will be your main point of contact for all of your recruiting
needs. Top Echelon becomes the legal Employer of Record for
the contractor you select. They handle the payroll, taxes, insurance,
benefits, invoicing, and all other administrative matters. By
combining the efforts of Turning Point Inc.
and Top Echelon Contracting Inc., we can offer full-service
staffing and unsurpassed value to our clients.
Payrolling for professionals (Employer of Record™)
In a traditional payrolling situation, clients have located
their own contract candidate, but do NOT want to add him/her
to their own payroll. Clients need a back-office provider to
become a legal W-2 Employer of Record™ for the contract employee
(to reduce costs and eliminate a variety of paperwork
issues, benefit problems, liability, exposure, etc.).
We offer a one-of-a-kind tool called the Employer of Record™
Rate Calculator. This unique tool will allow you to calculate
Bill Rates and Pay Rates for a contract assignment anywhere
in the United States. This tool will be available on our website
in the near future.
Simple weekly process
Our weekly process for clients is extremely easy! Sign
a weekly time sheet and pay a simple invoice. Invoices
can be customized to meet your company's specific needs. Contractor
expense reimbursements can also be handled through the payroll
department. All employee and employer taxes and withholdings
are processed by Top Echelon Contracting according to federal
and state guidelines.
Wide range of benefits for contractors
Statistics have proven that employers have greater contractor
retention by offering quality benefits.
As the legal Employer of Record™, Top Echelon Contracting pays
contract employees on a weekly basis (direct deposit is available)
and offer the following optional benefits:
