Staff Recruitment

Harmon can assist you in locating skilled individuals for all your staffing needs. Rely on Harmon for placements in all levels of office support as well as light industrial. We are ready to customize a staffing plan to meet your specific needs.

Benefits

Harmon consistently attracts and retains qualified employees by providing one of the most comprehensive benefit packages in the area for temporary help staff. We offer our employees health insurance, holiday and vacation pay as well as referral bonuses.

Our Guarantee to You

Your Harmon employee is bonded, insured and guaranteed. In the unlikely event that you are not completely satisfied within the first four hours of an employee's work, please notify us. We will not charge you for that time, and we will attempt to find a replacement for you.

Billing Rates

Harmon Personnel is responsible for reporting and paying all federal and state payroll taxes, including social security, unemployment insurance and workers' compensation. As a customer, you are invoiced at an hourly rate for hours worked.

Our billing rate is a flat percentage mark-up of the wage we pay our employee. We review those wages periodically and adjust them if necessary to ensure that they remain competitive in our everchanging marketplace.

Overtime

Overtime is billed at 1.4 times your regular billing rate after our employee works 40 hours within a workweek. (Sun. - Sat.)

Time Card and Invoicing Procedures

Your signature on our employee's time card verifies that the hours worked are correct, that the work performed was satisfactory, and that you agree to our terms and conditions listed on the reverse. Please retain the yellow copy for your records.

Our employee must submit the approved time card to our office by 9 am Tuesday in order to be paid that week.

You will find Client Terms and Conditions on the back of the timecard.

Temp-To-Hire/Conversion Policy

Should you wish to hire our employee who is working a temporary assignment for you, a placement fee may be applied as follows:

0-240 hours	2 week fee
241-480 hours	1 week fee
Over 480 hours	No fee

Refund Policy

To calculate a one week fee, multiply the number of workweek hours by the starting rate of pay (e.g., 40 x $10/hr = $ 400). For a two-week fee, multiply that figure by two. Placement fees for part-time positions are based upon a minimum 20 hours per week.

A placement fee would apply also if you were to hire our employee within two months after the end of a temporary assignment or if you were to hire an individual that we introduced to you within two months of your initial meeting.

Payrolling Service

• Payroll until Hire - You recruit the candidate, and we place them on our payroll until you decide you've made the best choice.
• Seasonal Payrolling - You select the staff for your recurring seasonal needs, and we take care of the rest!
• Customized Programs - We will tailor payroll programs to meet your individual needs.

Equal Opportunity Employer

Harmon Personnel Services is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, citizenship, veteran status or disability.

No Harassment Policy

Our employee orientation includes a review of Harmon's sexual harassment and other personnel policies. Employees receive an updated written policy each year.

Occupational Safety & Health

Harmon Personnel Services is committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment for all of its employees. Our employee orientation includes a training and safety program. This program covers general information on proper body mechanics, lifting, fire safety, hazard communication, and material safety data sheets. If you have specific safety training requirements, please let us know; Harmon can tailor the orientation to meet your needs.

Workers' Compensation

Harmon employees are covered through our workers' compensation policy. For non-clerical positions we will need to know the appropriate workers' compensation code for your business or for the particular position that needs to be filled so that we may ensure adequate coverage for our employee. If your Harmon employee is injured or becomes ill while on the job, please contact our office immediately.

Tips to Orient your Temp

Your Harmon temporary will have the skills and abilities to do the job but may not be familiar with your specific organization. You can help ensure a smooth transition and successful experience with a brief orientation.

Help break the ice by introducing your Harmon employee to supervisors and coworkers in the immediate work area.

Orient the employee to your work environment for the following if appropriate:

• Parking and security
• Restroom facilities
• Lunch/break location and times
• Fire and safety procedures
• Location/use of office equipment/supplies
• Dress code

Review the job tasks and your expectations at the start of the assignment.

Provide a contact or resource for questions or assistance.

And most importantly, provide feedback to the Harmon employee about their job performance.
