What states does WORKERS.COM operate in?

For seasonal demand, special projects, or coverage during absences, temporary staffing delivers short-term shipyard 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 shipyard job placements, payroll processing, tax withholding, benefits administration, and workers' compensation insurance. You pay our invoice and we take care of everything else. This approach reduces administrative burden and eliminates liability while maintaining complete compliance with federal and state employment laws.
WORKERS.COM completes comprehensive background checks, drug screenings, skills assessments, and reference verifications for every candidate. We ensure all workers meet industry-specific certifications, safety training requirements, and OSHA standards. Our team maintains current knowledge of federal, state, and local employment laws, covering wage and hour compliance, workers' compensation, and workplace safety. Performance management continues ongoing to ensure every placement meets your expectations.
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 workforce management solutions scale to fit your needs, whether you need one reliable worker for a short-term project or an ongoing staffing partnership to support your operations year-round.
