Trial Hiring
Why risk hiring new employees only to realize (sometimes just several weeks later) that they aren’t working out as well as you had planned?
Even though they may interview well and their references might check out, you still can’t be sure that a new hire will be the right fit, and they may not be as good as you hope. Only after they’ve been hired do you realize their actual experience or lack of experience, or maybe they just turn out to be dead wood. Now you’re stuck with them! In addition to the cost of recruiting, filling out new hire paperwork (W-4, I-9), setting them up on payroll, offering and paying for benefits (costly health insurance, vacation, sick and personal time), contributing to their social security, and managing their payroll taxes, etc., you’ve got to consider the loss of productivity to your firm. Once you realize the problem, you can either keep them, or let them go, process unemployment paperwork, pay for their unemployment insurance, manage the COBRA process, deal with other employees' loss of morale, and draft/negotiate a severance agreement or face a potential wrongful termination law suit.
Instead, hire new employees on a TRIAL BASIS using LegalBriefs’ Trial Hiring service. We place any candidates that you decide to hire onto our payroll, so that you can evaluate their performance and potential on a no-risk, trial basis prior to incurring the legal and financial liabilities and obligations of hiring.
- The weekly cost is less than the cost of the salary and benefits that you’d be offering to the candidate, since there are no benefit costs during the trial period.
- LegalBriefs covers all payroll administration costs, manages payroll deductions, payroll tax filings, benefits administration, workers’ compensation insurance expenses and other costs.
- You have no legal or financial liabilities during the trial period.
- If you decide to hire the candidate on a permanent basis, we offer an easy, one-click, free conversion to direct hire.
- If the new hire proves to be less than satisfactory, you have no legal or financial obligations. We’ll handle all termination, unemployment and COBRA processing.
