Delegate ...because you have more important things to do and you can't afford to wait!
Why should my firm use off-site temporary workers?
Delegate offers your company all the advantages of a traditional temporary services agency by relieving the burden of administering benefits, labor laws, payroll taxes, worker’s compensation insurance, applicant screening, scheduling or carrying a full workforce during off-peak seasons.
In addition, Office Delegate, LLC’s unique business model offers additional cost savings, liability protections and computer-based internal training (so your staff won't have to do it)!
Cost Savings
Delegate has virtually no overhead costs to cover; no office building, no equipment, no heating bill and our employees do not need to be compensated for costly commutes to and from work. In addition, Office Delegate’s at-home temps are not depending on you to pay their bills. Our philosophy is simple physics. Bodies-in-motion tend to stay in-motion. Our delegates use the skills they practice each day of their accomplished careers and apply them to your administrative projects providing quality results at reasonable rates because this income is strictly supplemental to them. Our delegates are prepared and we pass the savings on to you. Last but not least our unique training guarantee assures that your staff will not have to spend precious time training temp after temp.
Training Guarantee
Show us once, we’ll do the rest. Companies lose valuable time training temp after temp. While the company you currently contract with may guarantee you an agent each day, they generally cannot guarantee you the same agent. That means you’re paying a supervisor or other experienced employee and the new temp to review the same instructions over and over again. (Or if you don’t have the time to retrain because you are short-staffed, you let the temp answer the phone while still having to pay your more skilled employees for necessary over-time.) This is costly, time-consuming and places a burden on your existing staff. You have more important things to do! Isn’t that why you needed a temp in the first place?
At Office Delegate, one of our training module specialists will work with you to create a training presentation! You only invest your time once and then watch it pay off! The representatives working on your project will be trained quickly, virtually and proficiently. Then simply provide our specialist with a phone number where a supervisor can be reached for clarification and the bulk of your training is done. Here’s the best part: The first 2 hours of coordination are on us. Training presentations can be created completely for FREE!*
Data Transfer
Data can be transferred quickly and confidentially by any means you choose and remain the property of your company. Scan, email, fax, mail or upload relevant data encrypted, password protected documents. We can coordinate with your IT department to obtain a temporary log-in through your own VPN or even access an on-site desktop remotely. Most of the time secure access or transfer can be arranged in less than 15 minutes (and that means it’s FREE)!*
Inherent Liability Protections
As an employer you are aware of the costly pitfalls of misclassifying ‘temps’ who might really be considered permanent employees under the law and your current temporary agency communicates the controls they have in place for your protection, right? Well, they should! Time Warner recently paid $5.5 million to settle a lawsuit that the Department of Labor brought against them for denying benefits to workers who were misclassified as independent contractors (temps) when they really met the criteria to be permanent employees of the company.
It’s unlikely that our workers would desire to pursue full-time employment or the benefits offered by most firms to regular employees. They have active careers to worry about.
More importantly, the IRS, DOL, and state run Unemployment Compensation agencies each have their own tests to determine whether a worker is considered your employee, a temporary employee, or both! In every instance two specific criteria are included in their scrutiny.
One major factor is the degree of (behavioral) control. Control is a broad concept that includes scheduling, supervision and training. Government agencies want to know who is managing these workers. Who monitors their progress? Well at Office Delegate, we do! Our specialists direct training, give out assignments and review the work products completed by our delegates (agents) before handing them in to you. Our clients have no reason to dictate schedules or monitor individual progress. Many times your work will even be completed outside of your normal business hours and the finished product will be waiting for you when you arrive in the morning.
A second key standard used to determine employment status is the extent of client investment in facilities and equipment. All of our representatives are required to keep a home-office complete with printer, phone, fax, email and computer equipped with today’s most popular business software including Microsoft Office and a Windows-based operating system. Our reps operate their own equipment and never have to set foot in your facility.
At Office Delegate, the line we draw is crystal clear. We offer a degree of comfort that is unmatched by traditional temporary service agencies and their on-site workers. |
