Our course, every service states the standard “pager” routine. Key Resources Inc goes the next added value step – we give you, your supervisors not only the pager number, but also our operations staff cell and home numbers. Many current clients have complimented us in our response time, not only to simply take the call but also actually assist in problem solving.
6. Can a client design the way payroll is reported to the temp service?
Many companies dislike the extra time that their temporary service requires of transposing payroll information to the temporary service time sheets. Key Resources Inc can design any payroll reporting system that is convenient to your company. Our controller normally contacts your accounting department (or designated area) to devise a method best suited to your company. Innovative ways are time clock check-in with Key Resources retrieving info, Excel spreadsheet emailed to contact for review/approval; electronic time sheets with online reporting. These are only two examples of creative ways that we pay our employees without the temp service, payroll/invoice mistakes.
