Employee Benefits for the Staffing Industry
The staffing industry is composed of many models.
There are agencies that hire full time employees to
perform temporarily at a jobsite. There are also placement
agencies that place the same type of jobs, but the
employees are hired for short periods of time, usually
90 days.
It is easy to set up a menu of group employee benefits
for permanent long term employees. Short term employees
are more difficult to provide benefits to.
We have set up a program to help the temporary staffing
industry provide benefits while not taking the responsibility
of setting up group insurance and the responsibilities
that go with it.
One major problem to overcome is COBRA. This law requires
employers that have a group medical or dental program
to allow ex-employees to continue coverage for 18 months.
Keeping within the law can be daunting when there is
constant turnover.
Our program is to provide individual non-group plans
so that COBRA administration disappears. By using individual
plans purchased by the employees, group administration
problems disappear. The employees also gain by having
their own portable health insurance policy and the
ability to choose the level of benefits they desire.
