The Main Differences

What's the difference between office/clerical and light industrial temp employees?

Light Industrial Staffing differs from Office Professional staffing in a variety of ways. For one, the workers' compensation classification code is different and the costs may be higher.

Workers' Compensation

Light Industrial related employees are classified under a different code depending on job classification and what the company does. This cost varies per state.

Office/Clerical related employees are typically classified as '8810' which is relatively low cost due to low risk of workers' compensation.

Insurance Coverage

TPI Staffing is the employer of record and manages all payroll expenses such as taxes, unemployment, workers' compensation, insurance and W-2 - allowing you to focus on your core business. The risk is of course higher for light industrial workers, thus the costs and specific insurance coverage may be more. Your markups may reflect this cost.
