COST
Payroll Savings are achieved using Flex Workers that do not require benefits, such as health insurance, retirement plans, or paid time off, which can cost upwards of 30% of worker pay. ABLEMKR optimizes these costs, making it easier for the Employer to be in control.
Recruitment Time Savings are delivered, as thousands of workers are regularly added and vetted for key skills in ABLEMKR’s database, with none of the cost passed along to Employers. Only pay for the labor hours worked, with a recruitment team always at the ready!
Higher Payroll and Benefits Costs are attached to full-time employees, as they are typically entitled to benefits, with further costs associated with sourcing and updating benefit plans, premiums, and the inherent paperwork of full-time employee enrollment.
Finding workers to fill roles can, and often does, require full-time effort. It can also be difficult to “spin up” and then “wind down” recruiting efforts, as opposed to approaching to finding skilled labor changes regularly. Not to mention, full-time recruiters who are great at finding and hiring the talent needed can also be difficult to find.
Flex work can help reduce upfront costs and allocate budget more dynamically.
WORKFORCE FLEXIBILITY
Scalability of the workforce is easily delivered with Flex workers, as companies can scale up or down quickly based on project needs, mitigating the risk of layoffs, and reducing idle time.
Need On-Demand Specialized Expertise? Flex workers can bring specific skills for short-term projects, without requiring a long-term commitment, making it easier to match skill sets to project requirements.
Reduced Idle Time and Cost are an additional benefit, as flex workers can be hired for specific tasks or periods, with companies avoiding paying for idle time when workloads fluctuate.
PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY
With Flex labor, there is the Potential for High-Quality Outcomes from Specialists that might not otherwise be found, as Flex workers often bring niche skills that can result in high-quality outcomes, and oftentimes choose to work on flexible arrangements given their high skills.
RISK AND COMPLIANCE
When Flex workers are added to the mix, there is a lower Risk of Layoffs for full-time employees, as the nature of Flex workers is they can be added or let go as needed, reducing the legal and financial risks associated with company layoffs.
