A General Staffing Agreement is a legally binding document between a staffing agency and an employer in which the staffing agency agrees to provide temporary employees to the employer. It typically covers the terms of the agreement, such as the rates of payment, the scope of the staffing services, the rights and obligations of the parties, and other relevant details. Types of General Staffing Agreements include: Permanent Placement Agreements, Temporary Placement Agreements, Contract Staffing Agreements, and Interim Staffing Agreements. Permanent Placement Agreements are used when an employer wants to hire a candidate on a full-time basis. Temporary Placement Agreements are used when the employer needs an employee for a limited amount of time. Contract Staffing Agreements are typically used when a company needs an employee for a specific project or task. Interim Staffing Agreements are used when the employer needs an employee for a brief period of time.
