When you apply for a job by an agency, and they find you a job, do they subtract money from your paycheck?

Answer 1

No, but they charge the company you work for. When I worked at a temp agency, they charged the company I worked at twice what I was getting paid. I had to work through the temp agency for three months before the company could hire me. That way, as long as I was doing a good job, the temp agency was getting paid for three months of the work I was doing. But, no, you don't have to pay the agency.

Answer 2

No. Speaking from the experience of close associates, nobody can legally do that without your consent unless it is for a garnishment. What happens when you get hired through an agency is that the employer pays the agency a specific rate and then they offer the employee a lower starting wage as a result. Unfortunately, there are areas where most of the companies won't hire off the streets, only through agencies. Bum deal for the hiree, but if it gets you a job...

Answer 3

No. The agency makes their money from the company where you are placed. You may be paid 8.50 and hour by the agency, but they are charging between 30% and 50% more than that to the company where you are placed.

Answer 4

From what I understand, they charge the employer $X/hour and then pay you $X-Y/hour. Y being whatever they feel their cut should be.

Answer 5

your employer pays them the money that he could've paid you instead of paying you 15/hr they pay you14.85/hr so u don't see or notice it because you were hired at 14.85
