Utilicast's Employee Trial Program (ETP) is similar to our Contract for Hire service. The distinction is that ETP is designed to accommodate all new employees at your company. The process is simple:

1. You identify the needed skill set.
2. You identify the best candidate on your own, or work with Utilicast or another agency to identify a candidate.
3. Retain the candidate for a 3 to 6-month term as a Utilicast Contractor.*
4. If the candidate represents a good fit for your organization, simply hire them as a full-time employee. Provided that you identify the candidate on your own, no placement fee is required.

* Separate charges apply for Utilicast placement services

 

During the trial period, Utilicast will be the Employer of record and handle all the administrative details such as taxes, insurance, employee benefits, employment contracts, invoicing, time sheets, payroll funding, payroll processing, etc. You simply manage the worker and pay a weekly invoice to Utilicast. The price is based upon actual costs, plus an 8% markup.That's it!

Cost/Benefit Analysis
We understand that an Employee Trial Program prior to permanent employment is a significant change to today's hiring practices. However, we also understand the risks associated with a poor hiring decision.
Eliminating a poorly performing employee is a difficult, costly, and time-consuming task. ETP will allow you to avoid this risk, without paying the high costs associated with traditional payroll outsourcing services.

ETP Costs
Utilicast provides full disclosure of our ETP costs up front. Your organization is responsible for paying only Utilicast's cost for the employee, plus an 8% markup. Our costs include the following components:

- Federal Unemployment Company
- Medicare Company
- Social Security Company
- State Employment Taxes
- Monthly administration fee
- Healthcare benefits
- One-time registration fee

For a professional making $70K annually (Washington State, Medical - Single & Non-Smoker, and 401K roll-over), the approximate cost for a three-month trial would amount to the following:

1st Month - $7,840
2nd Month - $7,380
3rd Month - $7,380
