Standby was created because we were tired of low quality and high costs associated with temp staffing companies. Unlike working with a temp staffing agency, with Standby:
Nope! All workers on Standby are W2 employees of our company. By ensuring all workers are W2 compliant, your organization avoids any risk of worker misclassification.
Exactly! All workers on Standby are W2 employees of our company. This ensures you get the compliance, quality, and liability coverage of a W2 employee without having to run payroll, offer benefits, and pay work employee insurance. We take care of all that for you!
Sure are! All workers on Standby are covered by Workers’ Comp insurance. Not only does this ensure all workers are compliant with laws and regulations, but it can provide you with peace of mind when it comes to liability during your events.
Nope! Unlike other platforms or staffing agencies, there is no minimum shift duration when posting on Standby.
All jobs posted on Standby must be at least equal to your state’s minimum hourly rate. Aside from that, Standby does not require a minimum hourly rate.
Standby takes care of all payments to workers so that you don’t have to. As the Employer of Record, Standby runs payroll and deals with all taxes. Our platform automatically debits your organization’s bank account on record for the amount due for a shift and provides you with a receipt.
Standby offers a completely pay-as-you-go service where you only pay once a job has been completed and checked off my a member of your team.
Your payment to Standby for a shift is composed of 3 parts:
If a worker doesn’t show up, they receive a ‘No Show’. Two ‘No Shows’ results in a 30 day hold on the worker’s account. As a result, Standby naturally filters out workers who have not shown up for shifts, increasing your confidence in the workers you source from our platform.
For our largest vendor partner, the average fill rate in 2024 is 95%. In new markets, fill rates may be slightly lower for the first month as we ramp up and build our worker base in that region.
Standby offers the ability to host a training session and require workers to attend that training session before signing up for future shifts.
For example, if you want workers to understand your organization’s catering practices before working a shift, you can post a “Catering Training Session”. Everyone who attends this session will earn a Catering Badge. You can then require the Catering Badge to sign up for future catering jobs with your organization.
A worker is only paid once a member of your staff has checked that worker in and out of the job. This ensures that you only pay Standby for jobs that have been completed and checked by your team.
Standby workers are peer-reviewed. After every shift, job posters have the ability to review the worker. You can see the worker’s average rating as a result of reviews submitted by other businesses in your area. If you wish, you can require a 4+ star rating to sign up for your jobs.
It's up to you! You can require that a worker complete a background check before signing up for your shifts.
If you require a background check for a job, then only workers who have passed a background check may sign up for your jobs. Not all workers complete background checks, as many jobs on the platform do not require one. However, we do offer that feature if you wish to add checks as a requirement.
You bet! Standby immediately connects you to a pool of workers who are ready to work on a moment’s notice. Need help within hours of a shift? We’ve got you covered.
Absolutely! The best way to do this would be to utilize Standby’s Badge System. Our Badge System enables you to create a badge and assign it to workers who you’ve enjoyed working with in the past. You can then require this badge to sign up for a job. As a result, only workers you’ve granted this badge to may sign up for the shift.
