The cost of hiring workers through PeopleReady can vary depending on several factors, such as industry, location, skills and experience required, and duration of the assignment. PeopleReady can help you control turnover, recruiting and other costs. Additionally, we offer workers’ compensation insurance, payroll processing, and compliance consultation to help protect your business.

All PeopleReady associates are our W-2 employees. We ensure compliance with all local and federal employment laws to protect your business.  

The main difference between W-2 workers and 1099 workers is their employment status and how they are paid. W-2 employees receive regular paychecks and have taxes withheld from their pay, while 1099 workers are independent contractors who are responsible for paying their own taxes and receive payment based on a contract or project basis. According to the National Employment Law Project, anywhere from 1030% of employers misclassify their employees as independent contractors, which can result in worker misclassification lawsuits. For further information on worker classification, visit the IRS website. Additional information is also available from the U.S. Department of Labor 

There are several reasons why using a staffing company with W-2 workers is important. This eliminates risk and protects your business. Some other benefits are legal compliance, filling workforce gaps, safety observances and workers’ compensation.
