Employee Benefits
Paid Time Off (PTO): Midwest Professional Staffing appreciates the dedication and hard work of our temporary employees. One way of showing our gratitude is our PTO Certificates. Once an employee reaches 1,000 hours of work, they will be awarded 8 hours of PTO. From then on, their PTO will start accruing and can be used in 1 hour increments. The 1,000 hours does not require perfect attendance, but there cannot be a break in employment with Midwest for more than 30 days. Time off must be approved by the manager/client & staffing manager.
401(k): Midwest Professional Staffing offers 401(k) to its temporary employees who are at least 21 years old and have worked with Midwest Professional Staffing for at least 1 continuous year. We provide a safe harbor matching contribution equal to 100% of your salary deferrals that do not exceed 3% of your compensation plus 50% of your salary deferrals between 3% and 5% of your compensation.
Healthcare Coverage: Midwest Professional Staffing is proud to offer Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant health coverage to our temporary employees. We offer three different Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. They are all ACA compliant and offer COBRA coverage after the employee is no longer employed with Midwest Professional Staffing. Coverage is available the 1st of the month following 60 days of continuous employment to those who average working at least 30 hours per week.

I AM LOOKING FOR A NEW EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY…
Top Ten Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay money for you to help me find a job?
No. We do not ask for any money from our candidates to assist them with finding a job. We are a free service to help you find work.
What types of jobs do you offer?
Contract – Job placements with an end date, usually between 3-9 months long.
Contract-to-Hire – A job placement with the opportunity of being hired on full-time after the end of the contract is up.
Direct-Hire – Permanent placement with one of our clients.
What industries do you staff for?
We specialize in Accounting & Finance along with Office Administration and HR positions. These can include Customer Service, Staff Accountant, Accounting Clerks, HR Assistants, Office Clerks, Office Managers, Administrative Assistants, Receptionists, Payroll Assistants & more.
Do I have to pass a Credit/Drug/Background Check?
Potentially, yes. As a company we have employment standards for criminal activity and will run a public search at the time of your interview with us. Depending on the type of work we submit you for, a more thorough search is really up to the potential client. If the company requires certain checks, we do need you to complete these before you can start a new job placement.
How long will it take to find me a job?
Our process starts with you meeting with one of our recruiters so we can go over your resume and what you’re looking to do next. We also have you take some pre-employment assessments including Typing, Data Entry, Microsoft Word and Excel. From there, we can match you with positions we have open and will submit your resume pending your approval. The time it takes to start a job is really dependent on what’s available and what you’re interested in. It is also dependent on any pre-employment checks we need to complete before you can start a position.
Do you offer benefits?
Yes. A list of those can be found above under Employee Benefits.
If I take a temporary position, will you help me find another?
Yes. As long as you are able and available for work and haven’t broken any of our policies preventing us from doing so, we will continue to search for you.
What are the odds of being hired on permanently?
This mostly depends on the relationship you establish with the company where you are placed on assignment. If it’s the right fit for both of you, there’s a good chance of this happening. However, if one or both of you doesn’t feel it’s right, that placement could end at the end of the contract.
What companies do you work with?
To maintain the privacy of our clients, we are not able to disclose the names of the companies we staff for until you we have your approval to submit your resume to their specific job.
What should I wear to the interview?
It is best to always dress business professional unless advised otherwise to any professional interview. This is your first impression and although it’s not the only factor, there is a big difference between blue jeans and a t-shirt and a suit. “Dress for the position you want, not the position you have” – Unknown.
