Pricing FAQs
What exactly is the Hemp Temps service fee?
Our total markup is 43% on top of the worker pay rate. This covers a 30% admin fee, our 10% placement fee, and a 3% payment processing fee. That single number replaces payroll taxes, insurance, recruiting, training, HR overhead, and more.
How does this compare to hiring directly?
When you account for employer-side taxes, workers comp, benefits, recruiting, training, and admin, traditional employment adds roughly 92% in overhead on top of base pay. Our 43% all-in fee saves you over 62% compared to that true cost of traditional hiring.
Are there any setup or hidden fees?
No setup fees, no contract minimums, no cancellation penalties. You pay the all-in rate for hours worked. That is it.
Who is the employer of record?
Hemp Temps is the employer of record for all temporary placements. We carry the payroll taxes, workers comp, and employment liability. Your team can scale up without adding headcount to your HR or accounting burden.
