Q A Burns temporary is doing well. I would like to hire this person on a direct hire basis. What do I do?
A Following this procedure protects you and your firm from potential legal problems associated with co-mingled employment. Please contact your Burns Personnel Placement Supervisor who will contact your Human Resource Department and follow your firm’s procedures. Please do not discuss or make a job offer to a Burns temporary employee until we have investigated and conducted the necessary screening and job requisition procedures on your behalf.
Q A temporary employee via Burns (or any Burns Personnel subtier) is not performing to my expectations.
A Contact your Burns Personnel Placement Supervisor before discussing this with the Burns temporary employee. We make your job easier and less stressful by solving problems in a professional, legal, and competent manner. Do not discuss negative performance issues with the Burns temporary employee.
Q Burns manages our flexible staffing requirements yet the temporary I want to hire or discipline works for a different employment firm on a sub-contracted basis through Burns Personnel.
A Burns subcontracts business to proven subtier suppliers and manages the flexible staffing endeavor. Contact your Burns Personnel Placement Supervisor and we will assist you.
Q I want to reward, praise, discipline and treat the temporary employee just like I handle my staff employees. Why can’t I do this?
A You can. We just want to protect you and your firm from potential lawsuits if you step over the boundary from customer to employer of a Burns temporary.
We have a perfect record protecting our customers from lawsuits…
…we make YOU look good.
Please contact your Burns Personnel Placement Supervisor for assistance BEFORE you take action.
Q A Burns employee or subcontracted Burns employee has an on-the-job accident and requires immediate medical attention.
A Provide for the safety of the individual. Contact your Burns Personnel Placement Supervisor or any Burns representative as soon as possible.
