What states does WORKERS.COM operate in?

Temporary staffing provides short-term forklift operators for seasonal demand, special projects, or coverage during absences. Contract-to-hire allows you to evaluate an employee's performance and fit before making a permanent decision, the worker starts as a contract employee with the option to transition to direct hire after a trial period. Direct hire is traditional recruitment where WORKERS.COM sources, screens, and presents candidates for you to bring on as permanent employees from day one. We can help you determine the best approach for your business.
Yes. WORKERS.COM manages all employer responsibilities for temporary and contract forklift placements, including payroll processing, tax withholding, benefits administration, and workers' compensation insurance. We handle everything while you simply pay our invoice. This approach eliminates administrative burden, reduces liability, and maintains compliance with federal and state employment laws.
WORKERS.COM conducts thorough background checks, drug screenings, forklift certification verification, and reference verifications for every candidate. We confirm all workers meet forklift operation safety training requirements and OSHA standards. Our team stays current on federal, state, and local employment laws, covering wage and hour compliance, workers' compensation, and workplace safety. Ongoing performance management ensures every placement continues to meet your expectations.
Forklift staffing in the context of workforce management refers to the end-to-end process of sourcing, placing, managing, and retaining forklift operators on behalf of a business. It includes recruiting, onboarding, payroll, compliance, performance management, and workforce planning. WORKERS.COM acts as the employer of record for temporary and contract workers, handling all HR and compliance responsibilities while you direct the day-to-day work.
Using a forklift staffing agency reduces time-to-hire, lowers total recruitment costs, and shifts employer liability for temporary workers to the agency. Direct hiring requires managing the full recruitment cycle, onboarding, benefits, compliance, and potential severance, all of which take time and resources. WORKERS.COM handles all of this, giving businesses access to pre-screened forklift operators on demand without the administrative overhead of a traditional hire.
Yes. WORKERS.COM works with businesses of all sizes, from single-location small businesses to large multi-site enterprises. Our forklift staffing agency solutions scale to fit your needs, whether you need one reliable forklift operator for a short-term project or an ongoing staffing partnership to support your operations year-round.
