BEG HR outsourcing, powered by isolved, puts certified HR professionals behind your internal team for a fraction of an in-house HR hire.

The Staffing Agency HR Problem
Staffing Agency HR Compliance
A staffing agency hits applicable-large-employer status faster than almost any business its revenue size, because placed workers are your employees for ACA purposes. Variable-hour workers need a lookback measurement method: defined measurement periods, administrative periods, and stability periods, applied consistently and documented, so you know who must be offered coverage and when. An agency that improvises this discovers the problem at 1094-C filing time, or worse, in an IRS penalty letter. HR outsourcing sets the measurement policy, documents the offer process, and keeps the whole framework consistent as your placed headcount swings month to month.
Staffing lives with co-employment as a fact of the model: you employ the worker, the client directs the daily work. The exposure comes when nobody wrote down who handles what. Your client agreements and your policies should align on supervision, safety, harassment response, accommodation requests, and termination decisions, because a placed worker with a complaint will name everyone. HR outsourcing makes sure your employment policies match what your contracts promise: who investigates, who documents, who decides. When the allocation is written, trained, and followed, a co-employment claim finds a paper trail instead of a shrug.
When a client needs forty workers on Monday, onboarding becomes a race, and I-9 rules do not care. Section 1 by the first day of work, Section 2 within three business days, correct document handling, and consistent procedures across every branch and recruiter. At staffing volume, a sloppy habit becomes hundreds of identical violations, and ICE audits price per form. HR outsourcing standardizes the packet, the sequence, and the recordkeeping: recruiting moves at full speed while every hire generates the same clean file. Remote hires, reverification, and retention rules get written procedures instead of tribal knowledge.
Every assignment ending is a potential unemployment claim, and in staffing those claims arrive constantly. Your defense is process: documenting that reassignment was offered, recording refusals of suitable work, responding within state deadlines, and contesting the claims that should be contested. Many states have specific rules requiring temp workers to contact the agency for reassignment before claiming benefits, but only if your policies say so in writing and you can prove the worker knew. HR outsourcing builds the assignment-end procedure, the notice language, and the response discipline that keeps your experience rating from drifting upward year after year.
Your handbook has to govern behavior in workplaces you do not run: harassment reporting when the harasser is a client supervisor, safety complaints on a client floor, drug and alcohol policies that satisfy multiple client requirements, and discipline when the client just says do not send that person back. A placed worker still has full employment rights against you, so remove-from-assignment cannot quietly become an undocumented termination. HR outsourcing writes conduct and reporting policies built for the triangle, trains your internal staff on handling client-site complaints, and keeps the file straight when placement decisions and employment decisions blur.
