Many of our clients rely on these reports for budget planning and forecasting, and for year-end reconciliation.

Conversion Fees

A client may hire one of our temporary candidates/employees at anytime after the commencement of a temporary assignment. A direct hire placement fee will be charged at the fee percentage established in the fee agreement; however, the gross profit margin earned by MFSS over the course of the temporary assignment will be subtracted from the full placement fee.

Payroll-Flex Services for Client Referred Candidates

Payrolling is when the customer, not the staffing firm, recruits the worker but asks a staffing firm to hire the candidate and assign him or her to their organization to perform work.  Payroll-Flex is a service that MFSS can provide at a discounted rate.
