Staffing Agency Benefits
Staffing Agency Benefits That Win Contracts and Retain Talent
Staffing agencies face unique challenges: high turnover, variable workforce sizes, and the constant need to differentiate. Our Section 125 supplemental plans help you attract better candidates while saving $600-900 per employee annually.
Staffing Industry Challenges Are Unique
Traditional benefits don't work for temp agencies and variable workforces
Extreme Turnover Rates
Staffing agencies see turnover rates of 100%+ annually. Without competitive benefits, your best temps leave for agencies that offer more.
Variable Workforce Size
Your headcount fluctuates weekly. Traditional group plans with minimum participation requirements don't flex with your business.
Competitive Differentiation
Clients choose staffing firms that offer better worker benefits. Candidates choose agencies that provide health coverage. Benefits win contracts.
ACA Compliance Complexity
Tracking hours, determining eligibility, and managing ACA reporting for a fluid workforce is an administrative nightmare.
The Staffing Solution
Section 125 Benefits That Flex With Your Workforce
Optiv Health's supplemental benefits solve staffing-specific challenges. Our Section 125 plan scales with your headcount, helps win contracts, and gives your temps a reason to stay.
Day-One Eligible Coverage
No waiting periods. Temps get coverage from their first assignment, making your agency the preferred choice for candidates.
1,000+ Free Medications
Generic prescriptions at $0 copay. Workers who might skip medications due to cost now have full access to what they need.
FICA Tax Savings
Pre-tax deductions save you and your employees 7.65% on FICA taxes. Savings scale with your workforce size.
Contract-Winning Differentiator
Include health benefits in your RFP responses. Clients prefer staffing partners who take care of workers placed at their facilities.
