Our benefits are the total package.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our mission is to make temporary and flexible jobs the best they can be—everyone deserves great employee benefits. That’s why most of our hourly talent are W-2 employees, not contractors (1099s). It’s why they have the same health insurance as our CEO. We’ve offered major medical coverage for decades. And we’ve continued to add benefits like universal paid sick leave and retirement plans with a match.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n\n\n

Not all benefits are equal. See how we stack up:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n\n\n
