Hiring Managers, it’s important to know whether your staffing agency is hiring your temporary workers or consultants on a W2 or 1099 basis. Why? When a staffing agency hires a worker on a W2 basis, they are considered an employee of the agency, meaning you can directly manage their day-to-day tasks and integrate them into your team’s workflow seamlessly. However, if the agency hires someone as a 1099 contractor, that individual is self-employed, which means they control how they complete their work. As the hiring manager, you’re not supposed to manage their daily activities. Ensuring your staffing agency is clear on these classifications helps protect your business, retain talent, and ensures a smooth working relationship. #HiringBestPractices #StaffingSolutions #W2vs1099 #HiringCompliance #OnCueHire
