When it comes to providing qualified temporary staff, UAB Temporary Services can do much more than fill your immediate need, we can save you time and money. Prior to placement selected candidates undergo a comprehensive initial screening, which includes an extensive criminal history investigation, verification of education and previous work history, and a review of motor vehicle records, where necessary.
The use of outside temporary employment agencies is discouraged. Private agencies should be used only after it is determined that no qualified individual is available through UAB Temporary Services. Temporary Services charges a much lower rate than that of outside temporary employment agencies. Departments that are assigned temporary employees are charged the employee’s base salary plus a small percentage to cover administrative costs. The department’s account is automatically billed. No requisitions for payment are required.
