Are your clients confused about the various laws and rules pertaining to joint employment in third-party staffing arrangements? To assist members in addressing client’s questions and concerns regarding joint employment, ASA published the ASA Joint Employment Tool Kit, which offers a collection of resources to help staffing companies address client concerns about co-employment (the relationship between a staffing firm and its client in which each has legal rights and duties with respect to the same employees). The tool kit includes fact sheets, issue papers, and sample letters to clients that dispel myths regarding joint employment and explain how working with a staffing agency can actually protect clients from liability. It’s free to ASA members.

All ASA members have access to complimentary resources designed to help them answer clients’ and candidates’ frequently asked questions. Get marketing resources that will help prospects understand the value of using a staffing company—including infographics, member logos, social media tactics, sector-specific FAQs for clients and talent, slide presentations, and much more—in the ASA Staffing Promo Tool Kit.

You can customize the FAQ documents with your company logo, incorporate them into client presentations, or provide them to candidates during the interview process. Get them in the ASA Staffing Promo Tool Kit at americanstaffing.net.
