Employer FAQ

Direct Placement

Employee candidates are screened based upon existing pool, advertising respondents, or resumes forwarded from the employer client.

Testing, Criminal background checks, Education verification and Employment checks are conducted based upon developed job descriptions, needed skill-sets and other required traits.

From a narrowed group, the employer decides who best fits their needs. Infinity Resources, Inc. arranges interviews, conducts tests, screens the prospects and tracks the process.

Human Resource Solutions

Companies of all sizes have human resource problems. We are often called upon to provide third-party review of sexual harassment claims and other forms of harassment and employee problems, write job descriptions, coach supervisors developing interviewing skills, or assist in preparing termination documentation.

Personnel Employer Organization (PEO) Services

Employers needing one-stop total human resource assistance to provide a benefit package, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, payroll, and employee handbook development can find an excellent hands-on team to support the owner of the company or the human resource manager.

Benefit packages include major medical insurance, prescription cards, 401K Program, life/accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and voluntary dental insurance.

Processing garnishments and child support, reviewing/processing/challenging workers' compensation and unemployment claims round out the full-service human resource support.

Relieving employer client's existing management team to serve their customers and not have to negotiate healthcare premiums, administer retirement programs or deal with the bureaucratic paperwork is ideal for new companies, small companies, non-profits or groups with special needs.

Payrolling

Seasonal assignments and small departments are excellent users of payrolling, so that the employee receives a regular paycheck, W-2, and assurance that payroll taxes and deductions are properly processed.

Temporary-to-Hire

Take a test drive with a new candidate. During this probation (typically 90 to 120 days) the employer and employee candidate determine if the ride is comfortable for both parties; evaluate whether the training is working; measure if the skill-sets are strong enough to continue the assignment; and the person is meeting the team's expectations.

Temporary

When employers need an extra set of hands, they call Infinity Resources, Inc. Large data entry projects, filling in for medical leaves, or unloading a truck are great illustrations to use a temporary employee.

Questions & Answers
Back to the top.
1. How quickly can you respond? FAST! Depending upon the available candidates and their skill levels when employers call. Some positions such as Lab Techs and Medical Assistants may require advertising or additional networking. We can confidentially advertise on the employer's behalf to scout for uniquely qualified candidates.

Back to the top.
2. How do we get started? It's easy! One of our staff coordinators will take your order over the phone or schedule a visit to the employer's facility. The branch manager will assist in determining the wage range, negotiate invoice rates and complete a credit application. After a comprehensive review, we recommend best candidates for employers to interview or place on assignment.

3. How do you establish rates? Rates are complex. Each job order is evaluated based upon industry standards, speed required to fill the order, amount of advertising necessary, Workers' Compensation exposure and additional testing/screening needed.

Back to the top.
4. Do you only provide temporary workers? No. We are able to locate diverse candidates. Many candidates are seeking regular status on an employer's payroll. We can place them directly on the employer's payroll. The most popular practice is for candidates to spend probation on Infinity Resources' payroll. This is traditionally 90 days or more. Each placement has a different bill rate.

5. Can you fill part-time assignments? Yes!

6. Who pays the holidays? During short temporary assignments or probation, candidates are not usually eligible for holiday pay. If the employer wishes to pay for unworked holidays, invoicing reflects the regular pay. For long-term temporaries, after 1500 hours worked (about 9 months), Infinity Resources pays the holiday. If the individual works at least 40 hours during the holiday week, the employer is invoiced time-and-a-half.

7. Do you test prospective candidates? IRI uses a basic quiz in our standard application process. We will administer any client-required tests. Some special tests have been provided by previous employer clients, and with their permission may be used to fulfill new client needs.

8. Who disciplines? Individuals are under the care, custody and control of our employer clients. Daily work performance and quality of work is left to the client and their supervisors. IRI will always respond with verbal or written support of the employer client needs.

19. Who pays for healthcare benefits? During the probation period, a number of healthcare options are available. The employee or a shared cost of the employee and Infinity Resources can be arranged.

Individuals on our payroll can elect to receive a host of benefits including healthcare indemnity, major medical insurance, 401(k) Retirement Plan, payroll direct deposit, as well as accidental death and dismemberment term insurance.
