A quality staffing agency should offer the following benefits to help employees be successful:  Personal Protective Equipment An agency may provide purchasable PPE, to all workers. Assuming the host employer doesn\u2019t supply PPE to employees staffed by an agency, the agency itself may provide this necessary equipment for the safety of the worker. The agency should discuss the PPE required with their employee as well as how to access the equipment and obtain refills when necessary.  Types of PPE include:   Safety Glasses   Earplugs   Steel-Toed Boots   Welding Shields  Transportation Assistance  Public Transportation An agency will sometimes assist its employees who are starting a new job by purchasing bus passes. This can be a win-win for the workers, agency, and temp employer by making everyone confident that the employee can get to work. This is especially important for entry-level jobs where the applicant does not have money for transportation until they begin working and receive their first paycheck. Depending on the staffing agency, they might deduct the employee\u2019s bus pass cost from their paycheck.   Uber, Lyft, or Taxi If public transportation just won\u2019t get you to work, a staffing company may also help by sharing costs for ridesharing or taxi services.  90-Day Bonuses Some agencies offer employees a bonus after they\u2019ve been working at a client location for over 90 days. Congratulations to all employees who reach this milestone!  1000-Hour Rule The 1000-Hour Rule states that temp employees can gain access to certain benefits, including employer retirement plan participation, after accumulating 1000 hours of service over a 12-month period. If you have worked as a temp for over a year and accumulated over 1000 hours, including overtime hours, you should check your federal and state regulations concerning this benefit.  Insurance  Health Insurance Health insurance may be available to employees at a certain percentage. If an employee is hired by their host employer after a 60- to 90-day trial period, insurance is often available to them at a lower cost by their new employer.   Workers Compensation As required by law, staffing agencies insure all their employees with Workers\u2019 Compensation Insurance. This plan provides medical and wage benefits to employees who are injured or become ill at work.   Unemployment Insurance As required by law, a staffing agency contributes to the UIA on behalf of its employees. Unemployment insurance provides cash to previously employed workers after a layoff. Rules generally stipulate that the recipient must actively seek employment during their unemployment period. Work longevity requirements and a legitimate reason for no longer being employed must be met before this insurance goes into effect.","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/career-blog\/employee-benefits\/"},"image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/benefits.jpg","name":"Employee Benefits at Staffing Agencies","height":"665","width":"1000","@id":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/benefits.jpg"},"mentions":[{"@type":"Thing","url":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q178512","name":"wiki-public-transport","sameAs":["kg:\/m\/05zdp","https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_transport"],"@id":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q178512"},{"@type":"Thing","url":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q311255","name":"wiki-unemployment-benefit","sameAs":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Unemployment_benefits","@id":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q311255"},{"@type":"Thing","url":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q334911","name":"wiki-health-insurance","sameAs":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Health_insurance","@id":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q334911"},{"@type":"Thing","url":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q892906","name":"wiki-bonus-payment","sameAs":["kg:\/m\/09rtvjy","https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bonus_payment"],"@id":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q892906"},{"@type":"Thing","url":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q1184466","name":"wiki-workers-compensation","sameAs":["kg:\/m\/01l9xd","https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Workers%27_compensation"],"@id":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q1184466"},{"@type":"Thing","url":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q1333024","name":"wiki-personal-protective-equipment","sameAs":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Personal_protective_equipment","@id":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q1333024"},{"@type":"Thing","url":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q3346867","name":"wiki-safety-glasses","sameAs":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Safety_glass","@id":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q3346867"}],"author":{"@type":"Organization","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/the-job-blog-lt-horiz.png","name":"The Job Blog logo","height":"116","width":"818","@id":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/the-job-blog-lt-horiz.png"},"url":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/","employee":["https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/beverly-mapes\/#Person","https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/amber-schneider\/"],"alternateName":"Job Blog HQ","additionalType":["https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Internet_forum","https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Blog"],"name":"The Job Blog","description":"A resource website containing helpful blog articles and forums for job seekers, employees, recruiters, employers, and anyone with a career.","telephone":"+1 (616) 284-5446","contactPoint":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/contact\/#ContactPoint","foundingDate":"2024","areaServed":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q30","@id":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/#Organization"},"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/#Organization"},"inLanguage":{"@type":"Language","name":"English","@id":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/#Language"},"about":[{"@type":"Thing","url":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q261362","name":"wiki-employment-agency","sameAs":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Employment_agency","@id":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q261362"},{"@type":"Thing","url":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q678774","name":"wiki-employee-benefit","sameAs":["kg:\/m\/05j7x6","https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Employee_benefits"],"@id":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q678774"}],"subjectOf":{"@type":"Blog","url":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/hr-blog\/","name":"The Job Blog - Career Blog","description":"blog for human resource managers and employers","inLanguage":{"@id":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/#Language"},"about":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q656365","@id":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/career-blog\/"},"@id":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/career-blog\/employee-benefits\/"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Career Blog","item":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/career-blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Employee Benefits at Staffing Agencies","item":"https:\/\/jobbloghq.com\/career-blog\/employee-benefits\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
