Does ARG consider the company client and the contractor mine?

Yes. ARG only works with your client companies and contractors through your staffing firm. We consider them 100% yours. The best description is that ARG acts looks and feels like your in-house back office department within your staffing firm.

Do I need to purchase insurance?

As your Employer of Record, ARG is responsible for maintaining all insurance coverages, including Workers’ Compensation and general liability for all temporary employees. You won’t need any additional coverage for your staffing business!

Is ARG a multi-state employer?

Yes! ARG is licensed to provide temporary and contract employees in all 50 states.

How do I handle contracts with my clients?

You are delivering two solutions to your client 1) a recruiting solution 2) a back-office solution (handled by ARG on your behalf), therefore this may require two agreements when separating your direct hire business from your staffing business.  However, we encourage one agreement for both when possible.

Before you start a new engagement with your client for any staffing needs, you must coordinate from start to finish with your ARG representative.  There are several details that are key in the beginning of a new staffing client relationship.  We are here to make things easier for you!

Can I provide any type of employee classification?

ARG primarily runs “Office Professionals” also known as 8810’s and also healthcare (ex. RN’s, LPN’s, CNA’s, etc.). However, we do support some codes outside of 8810 and would need to see a job description to determine if we can support it. We do not work with high risk positions in light industrial. Therefore, if you are unsure, ARG can advise on a case-by-case basis, whether or not your position can/will be approved by clicking HERE.

Does ARG handle the background checks and drug screening?

ARG will help facilitate an account for you to be able to do standard background check and/or drug screening with maximum speed, accuracy and alignment with FCRA, ban-the-box and local regulations.

Do you provide health benefits for the contractors?

Yes. ARG provides ACA compliant health benefits for all your contractors. When your contractors start a new assignment through ARG, they will be advised of their health benefit options and will have 30 days to decide if they want to sign up for benefits which are add-ons paid by contractors from post-tax dollars. If they do, ARG takes care of everything.

How will my contractors and temps get paid?

ARG pays contractors every Friday via direct deposit. Bi-weekly pay is also available. Additionally, we have an online portal that the contractors login to view all of their payroll data including check stubs, access to change direct deposit information and much more.

How often will I get paid?

We send weekly invoices and pay out profits via direct deposit the following week of receipt of your client payment. You will receive weekly aging and profit reports so you are always up to date on all outstanding invoices, paid invoices and profits.  Please note that any invoices that are not in good standing will delay recruiter profit payout.

Who does the credit and collections?

ARG administers all credit and collections, and you’ll be assigned a representative who will provide detailed collection assistance. Your rep will be available to you anytime to determine necessary action plans for any troubled accounts.  You may be contacted for additional assistance if needed.

Does ARG put a UCC on my business? Who is responsible for non-payment of invoices?

There is no UCC on your business. If your client doesn’t pay, ARG bears the full financial risk, however all recruiter profits are paused until all accounts are current.  ARG is ultimately responsible for any unpaid invoices so there’s no out of pocket costs to you. This gives you peace of mind!

Are there any setup fees, monthly/annual fees or long term contracts?

No. ARG has no setup fees or monthly fees nor do we require long term contracts. ARG believes we must earn your business every week with every contractor. We make sure there is zero risk for recruiters to run contractors with ARG.

Does ARG have any minimums?

No. ARG provides you the flexibility so you can run a contractor for a day or longer with no minimum pay rates.

Is ARG a staffing firm?

No. ARG only handles back office services exclusively for independent staffing firms. We also won’t work directly with client companies so there’s never a conflict of interest and our full back office solution is customized only around how staffing firms do business.
