If I get a job through an employment agency, where do they get their commission from?
Does the company providing me with employment pay?
Does it come out fo my salary? If so, how does that work? A lump sum or a percentage over a period of time?
How do employment agencies work?
There are two types of employment agencies.
The first, employs you, and pays you an hourly rate, but charges the employing company a higher rate for your
services. That is how they make money. Usually after a three month period the employer can take you on as a permanent employee, but must pay out the agency.
The second is a 'head hunter' type agency. They recruit workers that will be employed directly by the employer.
The head hunter screens resumes, sets up interviews with
the prospective employer, and gets paid a one time flat
fee by the employer for having found a suitable worker.
In this case you are directly employed by the company. Many
companies use head hunters as they do not have to screen resumes. By the time a prospective employee arrives for their interview, the employer knows they have the qualifications necessary for the job and might be a good match.
Reply:There is specific legislation related to Employment Agencies and Businesses (the Recruitment Agencies Act). They are not allowed to charge the ‘candidate’ as their client is the business seeking a worker and not the person seeking work. In this context, if you are recruited into a permanent role by the agency the agency will usually charge a fee to the employer, if you are employed on a temporary basis through the agency the agency is responsible for paying you (including entitlements to statutory holiday pay and maternity etc) and they charge their client business for the service of providing a temporary worker. This charge is usually based upon a margin or percentage of the workers hourly rate. What you need to remember is that the agency is also responsible for paying NI and other costs that an employer would normally pay so the margin they charge is not by any means clear profit. Most recruitment consultants are paid commission based upon the amount of money/business they bring in. It is also worth remembering that to the agency you are not a customer, you are their product and in this context they are not supplying you with a service but rather supplying temp or perm workers to businesses. Sounds a bit cold hearted I know, but if it help to understand this when dealing with the money crazed, sales orientated individuals that tend to work as ‘Rec Cons’. Remember, Recruitment Consultants are sales people!
Reply:the employment agency charge the employer a fee per hour and then pay you direct a lesser amount per hour and they make their profit that way.
the advantage from the employers point of view is that they don't have to retain staff when its quiet and can literally just pick up the phone and say i want a secretary, driver or whatever next week for one week only.
also the employer doesn't have to pay you redundancy and the employment law is much more lenient from the employers point of view although it has changed a lot in recent years.
there was a case a few years ago when a centre was closed down in our city and even though the staff had been employed in the same job and the same place for 12 years they were entitled to no redundancy as they were all agency staff.
Reply:An employment agency takes a percentage of the margin, e.g. if the agency is paid £10 per hour by their client, who you are working for, they will keep a percentage of this, say £2. So you get £8 p/h and they get £2 p/h.
The agency employs you and pays you, you have nothing to do with the client, except you a governed by the r%26amp;r and they are responsible for you while on their property.
Reply:Any company which asks for money from you as an employee for finding them work is breaking the law. As an agency we get our fee from the company, not you. For permanent we will ask for a fee of % of annual salary. For temp/contract we ask the company the wage they want to pay and then put a percentage on top to cover NI contribution, holiday pay and our margin.

What are the distinctions from Employment Agency, Staffing Agency, Headhunters? And how to find them?
Can anyone explain the distinctions from employment agency, staffing agency, and headhunters? Do they offer the same services? If I go for the services, will they charge me? How to look for the agencies? (From yellow pages or ...?) Please recommend some good agencies especially in San Francisco Bay Area. Thank you.
What are the distinctions from Employment Agency, Staffing Agency, Headhunters? And how to find them?
Head hunters is a disrespectful name given to the industry by people outside of the industry. You will never find them by searching under that name.
There are many that use similar naming, but are very different. There are also some that do more than one kind of service.
The key is in the contract you sign with them.
* When they land you a job, does the employer pay their fees, or will you be paying a percentage of your salary for how many months, to the agency?
* When they land you a job, will it be a permanent position, or will it be temporary that could end at any time, with no notice?
If you recently had a job %26amp; am now unemployed, be sure to visit the Unemployment Compensation office PDQ because if you wait until you need the money, you could be at a serious disadvantage.
If you have no experience (you just graduated), there are a lot of jobs you cannot get into. However, your combination of experience and education can open doors for you not open to other people. I suggest you visit some book store %26amp; pick up books that give examples of writing resumes, methods of delivery ... for example, you could have a very nice resume, but if it goes as an e-mail attachment, you could lose a lot of the formating bang impact, unless you put it in a PDF, so you have to know how to do that. You can get software to help package a nice resume, but you need to review how to make a nice resume in the first place. In addition to resume, there is also thw whole package of interviewing and writing thankyou notes after you get interviews.
In the Yellow Pages, on-line or off-line, you can search for
* Employment Agency
* Jobs
* Help Wanted
etc.
You can also locate %26amp; visit stores that sell newspapers from around the world %26amp; the USA ... at such stores there will be special publications that the only thing in there are job openings, reprinted from the classified of newspapers around the USA, and sorted to show job openings by category (e.g. Accounting) and region (e.g. California Bay area) ... after buying several of these, that are in competition with each other, you can subscribe for a few weeks, but warning, these publications usually repeat the ads a week or so after they showed up in the original publications.
By studying the ads, you ought to be able to figure out which are with the actual companies looking for workers, and which are from some kind of agency.

Applying for new job,if I did not mention my last employment will it appear on my personal record?
I was fired on my last job, the supervisor %26amp; I are not in good terms, definitely he will not give me a good feedback.If I did not mention my last employment (work there for a month only) upon background check/ SS# will it appear on my record? Will the new prospective employer find it?
Applying for new job,if I did not mention my last employment will it appear on my personal record?
They only thing employers look for in a background check is your criminal record (if u have one). The only way they would know about your dispute with your last employer is if you put it on your application and they call them, otherwise, no worries your fine. good luck on the job hunt! :D
Reply:If the employer's background check includes a credit check, it can show up. It is better to be honest up front. If the prospective employer finds that you withheld information, it is not something that makes you look very good.
Reply:no..thats not what they look for on a background check. you can leave off any employment you want. its your right and choice.
Reply:well it most likely will but i think you should be honest and upfront about it and tell them what happened you might just get the job anyway .

Does anyone know how I can get a copy of my employment history records?
I am in search of a new job, and would like to be accurate on my employment dates.
Does anyone know how I can get a copy of my employment history records?
Contact HR at each company and ask. They'll tell you.
If I am unsure, I'll write something like Summer 2001 - Fall 2004 or the month if known.
I've never had any questions or trouble doing that.
Reply:Every year I get a copy of my Social Security history... and it includes the years of my employment. If you want to be more accurate to the day, I suggest ordering a credit report or perhaps checking with your State's Income Tax department... they'll be certain to know.
Reply:Go to your former employers and ask them

If you are an indemnitor, can a bail bondsman or bounty hunter show up at your place of employment?
Can the bail bondsman or bounty hunter show up at your place of employment to either collect their fee or gather more information on the person you bonded out? Is that legal?
If you are an indemnitor, can a bail bondsman or bounty hunter show up at your place of employment?
Bail bondsmen\bounty hunters can do pretty much whatever the want. They don't have to abide to any rules to recover their fudgitive.
Reply:Yes, you should read the paperwork you signed when "co-signing". You know have a "contractual arrangement" with the bail bondsman and as such there will not be limits on when, where or how they can contact you.
Reply:absolutely.
Reply:Bondmen are running a service. If they don't get paid, they will hunt down the person that broke that contract. Because of this contract, assuming you signed it too, you may be contacted to help find the person who skipped out on them. They (probably) won't physically harm you, but they could get you on aiding a felon if you don't co-operate. It's all in the contract.

Can I pay self employment tax on rental income?
I need to build up social security credits before retirement and want to know how I can use rental income to qualify for the self employment tax as it is usually exempt? This is the only real income I have and my husband's income is his pension.
Can I pay self employment tax on rental income?
No, rental income is not subject to SS taxes. It is not considered earned income.
When you retire, you will collect the higher SS benefit either on your account or on your husband's.
If you want to build up your own SS credits, you'll need to either go to work or start a conventional business.
Reply:Social Security benefits pay when you retire from employment. A person with only rental income is not employed. The owner of rental property can still receive that rental income as long as they own the property.
So rental income is outside of the Social Security system, and you cannot use this income to establish credits for Social Security retirement benefits.
