We believe it is critical to understand the internal and external issues that affect your company, even impending legislation, as well as human resource management issues specific to your business. Many of our clients consider us a strong right arm in helping them realize their objectives of cost containment in securing and maintaining a skilled, productive work force.

Quality Assurance

Not just anyone can get a job at The Job Shop. All applicants must pass a through screening process to ensure the high level of quality that you require for your labor force. All applicants receive a qualifying interview from a well-trained staffing specialist, complete reference checks, skills evaluation, safety training and drug test. The process itself requires a minimum of three hours, and gives our staffing specialist thorough knowledge of the candidate before we send them to work.

Our staffing specialists are trained in all aspects of employment from screening and recruitment to discipline and termination. All staffing specialists are certified in federal and state employment law including Equal Opportunity Laws, wrongful discharge, FMLA, HIPAA, and ADA. They are also trained in worker’s compensation laws and injury/illness prevention.

With a full-time Risk Control manager on our staff, we keep abreast of any pending legislation or OSHA changes that may affect safety issues in employment. We also maintain a written injury and illness prevention program including a light duty program to minimize loss time, and a OSHA 300 log. Every employee receives monthly safety training to reinforce our dedication to safety.

To enhance employee retention, each temporary employee receives vacation pay based on the number of hours they work. Plus they become eligible for health insurance after working one hour. The Job Shop pays for the health insurance benefit after one year of full-time employment. We also provide various incentives throughout the year.
