Olympic has compiled this section of Online Resources to
educate and assist employees with employment related issues. Our efforts have
focused on finding great resources on the Internet in combination with our own
content development. There are a broad range of items that encompass employment
related issues, so we have attempted to categorize them into the following
topic areas: Tips on Landing a Great Job, The Role of the Staffing Service,
Resources for Information Technology Professionals, Payroll Taxes, Workers'
Compensation, and General Services.
Tips on Landing a Great Job
Work is often more than a paycheck. It is a source of our closest friends, it
dominates most of our conscious hours, and it can define the course our life
takes. Employees realize that there is no guarantee of employment in today's
dynamic economy, so they are seizing control of their careers and working hard
to build their skill sets. To learn more about the seizing control of your
career and the steps to take to land a better job,

The Role of the Staffing Service
Staffing services are a growing element of the employed population in the
United States. The American Staffing Association defines Staffing Services as
companies that provide: "temporary help, permanent placement,
temporary-to-permanent placement, long-term and contract help, training,
managed services (often called "outsourcing"), human resources consulting, and
professional employer organization (PEO) arrangements in which a staffing firm
assumes a business' responsibility for payroll, benefits and other human
resource functions." Olympic Staffing Services primarily provides temporary and
temporary-to-permanent placement staffing solutions. We also provide direct
hire or career placement solutions to our clients. To learn more about the role
of the Staffing Service and how it might be able to help you,

Resources for IT Professionals
Olympic Staffing Services has been expanding its presence in the information
technology staffing field. As we have automated and implemented our mission
critical systems, we have learned what it takes to get the job done when it
comes to IT. Olympic Staffing Services considers IT to be a key element of its
strategy as we move forward. IT will give us competitive advantage over other
staffing services and results in better service for our clients. If you are an
IT professional, or you are considering a career in the field, visit our

Payroll Taxes
Payroll taxes are often a source of immense confusion for employees. As you
read your Olympic Staffing Services check, we feel it is important that you
understand what the assorted taxes are that you see listed on the check stub.
It is also important that you understand the taxes you don't see. These are the
taxes that are paid by the employer. When you partner with Olympic Staffing
Services, we are your employer and we pay employer taxes on every dollar you
make through us. To learn more about payroll taxes and Olympic Staffing
Service's paychecks, click

Workers' Compensation
Similar to payroll taxes, workers' compensation is an often misunderstood and
hidden cost that employers bear on behalf of employees. California's workers'
compensation program is a type of insurance program that covers employees while
they are on the job. As a partner employee of Olympic's, you are covered by our
workers' compensation program which is underwritten by Superior National
Insurance. Olympic Staffing Services firmly believes in our obligation to
provide insurance to our workers for valid claims. It is an essential element
of providing a safe and healthy workplace that our employee's deserve. To learn
more about worker's compensation, its hidden costs and the impact of fraudulent
claims, click here.
