What states does WORKERS.COM operate in?

For seasonal demand, special projects, or coverage during absences, temporary staffing delivers short-term ship repair employees. The contract-to-hire model allows you to evaluate an employee's performance and fit before making a permanent decision, where the worker starts as a contract employee with the option to transition to direct hire after a trial period. With direct hire, WORKERS.COM manages traditional recruitment by sourcing, screening, and presenting 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 handles all employer responsibilities for temporary and contract ship repair placements, including payroll processing, tax withholding, benefits administration, and workers' compensation insurance. You pay our invoice and we manage everything else. This approach eliminates liability, reduces administrative burden, and ensures full compliance with all federal and state employment laws.
WORKERS.COM carries out thorough background checks, drug screenings, skills assessments, and reference verifications for every candidate. All workers are confirmed to meet maritime industry-specific certifications, safety training requirements, and OSHA standards. Our team stays up to date with federal, state, and local employment laws, including wage and hour compliance, workers' compensation, and workplace safety. Every placement continues to meet your expectations through ongoing performance management.
Workforce management in staffing refers to the end-to-end process of sourcing, placing, managing, and retaining workers 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 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 talent 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 ship repair staffing solutions scale to fit your needs, whether you need one reliable maritime worker for a short-term project or an ongoing staffing partnership to support your operations year-round.
WORKERS.COM operates in all 50 states. Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, we combine the scale of a national staffing firm with regional expertise in local labor markets, wage rates, and compliance requirements.
