the Cost of Temporary Administrative Employees

The price listed above was per day for receptionist services while the office adminstrator was away for training. The receptionist was required to do light filing and copying for an eight person accounting office at the beginning of tax season, so not busy really.

I have used this temp service in the past and this time they sent me an attractive and friendly person who was exactly what we needed for the receptionist area for the week. Day one went fine. Day two she left early for a "death in the family" and day three she was for the most part nowhere to be found due to "cigarette breaks." I contacted the temp agency and they were able to find a suitable replacement for the remainder of the week, which worked out fine. Overall the experience was a good one, since it was a problem with the personnel and not the agency.

If you feel like the temp that an agency sends you is at any time not what you are needing, contact the temp agency immediately for a replacement. Luckily I'm in an area where competition in the temp market is fierce so the temp agency will bend over backwards to make my business happy.
