What policies and procedures are critical for companies that use temporary agencies for contingent workers?

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Companies should get a sample copy of the agency's invoice to ensure that the invoice fits the company needs. Time sheets should be used because they provide a verification of hours worked and an agreement to pay the agency's fees. The company should find out what policies guide the hiring of an agency temp as a permanent employee. The company should also find out how the agency recruits employees and what kind of benefits it pays. The company should specify its dress code at each location to the agency. The company should insist on getting a document from the agency stating that it is not discriminating when filling temp orders. Finally, make sure that the agency has the proper information regarding what is required to adequately fill each job position.
