If I register as a temporary associate, am I required to accept every assignment offered to me?

No, One of the benefits of working with Vest Professional is the flexibility to choose which assignments to accept. We encourage open conversations to help us place you in the best environment.

How long are the assignments?

Temporary assignments vary according to employer need. An assignment may last anywhere from days, weeks, months, or longer. Your staffing coordinator will give you an approximate duration prior to you accepting or declining the assignment.

What ID do I need?

Under the federal Immigration Reform and Control Act, new employees must present proof that they are legally authorized to work in the United States. When you take a new job, you are required to fill out the employee’s section of USCIS Form I-9 with documentation to present your new employer proving that:

an unexpired employment authorization card
an unexpired employment authorization document, issued by USCIS, which contains a photograph, or
an unexpired foreign passport with Form I-94 containing an endorsement of nonimmigrant status.

An employee who does not have one of the documents listed above must produce two documents: One from column B and one from column C, below. A total of 2 documents.

Column B

a Social Security card
a U.S. birth or birth abroad certificate
a Native American tribal document

Can you get hired at any of the jobs you offer?

What is your attendance policy?

If you expect to be tardy or absent to a position, you must call or text us 2 hours before your scheduled start time. Our office has 24-hour voice mail and the capability to text directly to our office phone number. If you miss work for any reason without notifying us prior; a “no call, no show” to an assignment is immediate grounds for termination.

Full time employees are defined as those employees who average 30 or more hours per week. Employees have 30 days from the date of hire to enroll or waive coverage.

Do Staffing Agencies Work for Job Seekers or Companies?

A staffing agency connects job seekers with potential employers. While they may work with both job seekers and employers, the primary focus of a staffing agency is to find suitable candidates for the company’s open positions.

What does it mean to work through a Staffing Agency?

While working through a staffing agency, the employee is paid by the agency, not the client company. The agency also handles payroll, taxes, benefits, and other employment-related matters. However, the employee will be working at the client company and will be subject to their rules, regulations, and policies.
