Now that the flood of layoffs seems to have stopped or slowed to a trickle, we are left with a new landscape for employment. As a business, this offers you some very intelligent options.
If not now, then soon, you will be needing more help in your work environment. Enterprise will pick up and/or the skeleton crew you have working will be ready to revolt. If you're worried at the opinion of addition staff, consider bringing in people to work as contractors, freelancers or temporary employees.
Irs Tax Table 2010
These very talented people can step in just like a "normal" employee. You can have them work when needed, work from home and all without paying for on-boarding, worker's compensation, employment taxes and benefits. A lot of forward-thinking clubs are doing this - getting the work done with a talent base they can afford and can adjust as needed. The intelligent part is that temporary employees are very curious in these kinds of opportunities too, because they like the leisure that this lifestyle delivers.
It's a new way of reasoning for both sides of the employment table. More and more clubs are contacting temporary agencies and having them manage the additional headcount for weeks, months or even years.
If you pick to go long-term with temps, you will need to make sure that they are in compliance with the Irs. Temporary agencies can be ideal for setting up this kind of relationship. Otherwise, long-term temps will need to be seen on paper as a legitimate company, because you will need to avoid a virtual-employee situation.
The area of virtual employees is a huge gray area. Basically, if you need person to work inescapable hours, take direction or you are their boss, go through a temp service. If they work from home, make their own hours and do tasks that do not need your direction, you are probably pretty safe, but check with your accountant.
Bottom line, this trend will continue. And it can positively advantage both the Enterprise and the candidate. Maybe it's time for your firm to come on board.
