Frequently asked questions.

Most Memphis light-industrial staffing relationships run on a markup model — typically 35–55% over the worker's hourly pay rate. That markup covers wages, payroll taxes, workers' comp, general liability, recruiting, screening, and our profit. Specialty roles (CDL yard jockey, sanitation lead, EVS) run higher.

Temp is week-to-week flex labor that stays on our payroll. Temp-to-hire is the same pay model with a defined buyout window (often 480–520 hours) after which the worker converts to your payroll with no conversion fee. Direct hire is a one-time placement fee — the worker starts on your payroll on day one.

Most certified sit-down and stand-up forklift roles in Memphis fill within 24–72 hours. Reach truck, cherry picker, and CDL-A yard jockey roles average 3–7 days depending on shift and pay rate.

Yes. Every worker we place clears a 5-panel drug screen and a county and federal background check before their first shift, with industry-specific add-ons (TB test for healthcare EVS, MVR for CDL roles) when required.

Yes — vendor-on-premise (VOP) and on-site management programs are available for accounts running 25+ associates per shift.

Labor-only crews typically bill $22–$38 per crew hour depending on shift, scope, and PPE requirements. Managed crews with a working supervisor and chemicals included run higher. We provide bid sheets within 48 hours of a walk-through.

Foundational: GFSI/SQF awareness, HACCP principles, allergen-control training, OSHA Hazard Communication (GHS), lockout/tagout (1910.147), and confined space (1910.146) where applicable. We pre-train every sanitor before their first shift in a food plant.

Janitorial covers daily-use surfaces — restrooms, trash, floors, touchpoints — in offices, schools, and retail. Industrial cleaning handles plant equipment, production floors, high-bay racking, machine degreasing, and the heavier-duty tasks that don't fit a nightly janitorial route.

Yes. Managed-crew engagements include a working lead, a defined scope, chemical and equipment plan, and weekly QA. This is our most common model for food plants and cold storage.

Both models are available. Labor-only is the lowest-cost option when you have an established chemical program. Turnkey includes Spartan, Diversey, or Ecolab chemicals plus auto-scrubbers, burnishers, and PPE.

Same-day for crews of 4 or fewer; 24–48 hours for crews of 8+. We staff out of Memphis, Southaven, and Olive Branch.

No. General labor, janitor, and entry-level warehouse roles are open to candidates with zero prior experience. Bring a government ID and a way to get to work.

Most candidates who apply Monday–Wednesday and pass screening start work that same week. Sanitation and 3rd-shift roles often start within 48 hours.

Weekly via direct deposit or pay card, with optional same-day pay through our partner once you've worked a full shift.

Two forms of ID for I-9 (driver's license + Social Security card, or U.S. passport). Steel-toe boots are required for most warehouse roles — we'll tell you up front for each role.

1st (typically 6a–2p), 2nd (2p–10p), and 3rd (10p–6a). Most sanitation and food-plant work is 3rd shift with a shift differential.
