Scope of Services
Describe the types of temporary positions, job descriptions, assignment locations, and any performance or qualification standards the staffing agency must meet.

Legal and compliance professionals often review the agreement for worker classification, insurance, indemnity, and state-specific requirements before execution.
The agency COO or authorized account manager executes on behalf of the staffing firm, confirms billing rates and insurance certificates, and accepts responsibility for payroll, taxes, and employment compliance.
The client HR director or authorized representative signs for the host employer, confirms assignment scope and site requirements, and ensures the client meets supervision and safety obligations.
