How to Request Temporary Staffing
- The hiring manager must start by completing the Temporary Labor Request Form.
- Human Resources (HR) will review the information and provide a recommendation on how to fill the position.
- If HR recommends a County employee, volunteer or intern, then HR staff will provide further guidance.
- If HR recommends using Personnel Solutions Plus (PSP):
- HR will forward the labor request form to PSP.
- HR will provide pay guidelines to the hiring manager. The guidelines include a typical entry-level pay rate and a recommended maximum pay rate. If PSP requests a rate that exceeds this maximum, then it will need approval from the Appointing Authority.
- PSP will contact the hiring manager to confirm the pay rate and start date.
- To learn more, see Staffing Agency FAQs.
