The process of converting all of our employees from paper checks to pay cards is in full swing and is for the most part being well received.
We anticipate full implementation by August 1st. As you can imagine change is not easy for everyone, but we are working hard to make the process as pain free as possible for all of our valued employees.
Just as we all survived the Government’s conversion to digital television with the converter boxes, this upgrade will greatly improve our ability to get money into people’s hands quickly and safely.

Based on National Unemployment rates remaining high (9.7%) this suggests employers are using temps due to uncertainty about the economy’s future.

Trends in Staffing Industry Technology
Technology is not passing by the staffing industry. In fact, it’s exploding as clients continue to push their providers for more services at lower costs.
The future holds the promise from suppliers providing electronic delivery of invoices, check stubs and automated matching time cards and invoices at the time of invoice creation.
Using social media and all the networking potential it holds for recruiting is hot. Integrating these applications into the flow of recruiting software will allow staffing services to fill orders with better candidates in a cost effective manner.
The use of mobile and wireless technology is also growing. The ability to communicate with applicants without them sitting by the phone at home can dramatically improve service levels. And, all of this is pushing the industry towards becoming a “paperless” industry.
It’s all good stuff that will require staffing suppliers to prioritize the needs of their client base before diving into the tech pool.
