Safety tip for all employers:
I-9s are good for 3 years, however, if you rehire someone you are responsible for re-verifying the information.  Of course you can limit your risk and short circuit the hassle by using BOLT to supply you with workers eligible to work in the US.  All new BOLT employees assigned to work for more than a week undergo a criminal background check as well!
 
The USCIS revised the I-9 Handbook for Employers, for more information, click here. Regardless of whether you use BOLT or not, you'll want to have a copy of the Handbook.

Markup Wise & Dollar Foolish?
Mark-ups:  Are they the Key to a Good Deal? 
 
At the beginning of  this year, we posted an article about what's in a mark-up. Of course we had no way of knowing what the year's news would bring. All of us compete in the marketplace for business. All of us have fixed costs that determine the price our clients and customers pay for our products and services.  In the staffing business in addition to salaries and payroll taxes we must also insure our employees against the risks covered by Worker's Compensation.  
Imagine the competitive advantage we'd enjoy if we could reduce or eliminate one of these mandates. Our customers would enjoy the benefits of lower costs and we'd lop off a healthy market share.  Sounds good right?  Not so fast!
